The 2019-20 season includes the annual performances of the Choreography Showcase 2010 at the Lettie Jensen Community Center in Amherst and a spring performance at the Sentry Theater next March.
The season marks the 20th anniversary for Point Dance Ensemble and will feature alumni of PDE, as well as guest artists from REDance, a Chicago-based dance company. The season also provides an opportunity for PDE company members to participate in the community production of Nutcracker Jazzed at Sentry Theater, and in community outreach programs throughout Portage County.
