Joel Hall Dancers & Center: NextGen at Austin Town Hall

Joel Hall Dancers & Center brings its NextGen program to Austin Town Hall Park on Thursday evening, July 30, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. The program pairs performances by the company and its trainee program — showcasing emerging Chicago dance talent — with a public dance class at the end, so the audience can join in rather than just watch. It's a deliberately inclusive evening that treats dance as a shared community experience rather than a strictly passive one.
