Up Close at the Dance Hub

Up Close returns to The Dance Hub for American Dance & Music’s 2024 annual showcase event. The hour-long performance features the talents of The Dance Hub Community—its teachers, students, and renters—highlighting the diversity of dance styles that this event has long been known for. On this performance you will see:

• The Dance Hub Performance Group performing a set of miniatures choreographed by director Carrie Diamond to music by music director Eric Valinsky. The members are Dance Hub students Rosalie Benitez, El Caris Camarillo, Holland Crosby, Terry Kleid, Mary Olsen, and Dara Yang
• Guest performer Geraldine Freitag will return to dance Argentine tango with all the elegance and romantic passion of the social style, partnered by Claudio Otero
• New ballet teacher Aimee Lopez will present a new solo, danced by Isabella Furillo
• Adelle Rodkey and Eric Valinsky will perform music for oboe and piano

What’s more, for the first time since the pandemic, Up Close at the Dance Hub will once again give the audience the chance to get up off of their chairs and dance to live music. As always, refreshments will be served after each performance.

Up Close at the Dance Hub will present two shows, at 2:00pm and 4:00pm. Seating is limited so audience members will need to reserve their spots online in advance. To help fund this event and future performances, AD&M will be collecting donations online*. Suggested donation is $25 per seat with a minimum donation of $10.
