This season’s Spring Dance Concert, “Legacy and Innovation,” offers a powerful blend of historical resonance and forward-looking artistry.

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of its creation, José Limón’s A Choreographic Offering returns to the stage—a luminous tribute to Doris Humphrey and a masterwork of modern dance that continues to inspire generations. Also featured is the spirited First Regiment from George Balanchine’s Stars and Stripes, honoring the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with patriotic flair and classical brilliance. Pushing boundaries and expanding perspectives, the concert also features two world premieres: a bold new work by Hannah Thomas, a fresh fusion of hip hop and contemporary pulsing with rhythm and physicality and a new ballet by Durante Verzola, known for his musicality, elegance and inventive approach to classical form.

Together, these works celebrate the diversity and depth of American dance—past, present and future.
