SHOW DESCRIPTION

Bringing back to the stage for the first time since 2014, Dance Express produces the dance theatre story of THE CHRISTMAS ROSE.   Dance Express company members and guests from River Song Waldorf School  first presented this dance story in 1998 with a script developed by Jill McKnight and original music by Marc Piersel.  Enjoy choreography by Artistic Director Mary Elizabeth Lenahan, CSU Kat Lawrie,  CSU Eden Irrgang, Dance Express company members. In 2024, in collaboration with Chase the Music, we planned to honor Tamara Mahler in song and dance in the prelude to the  Rose.  With her passing on July 28th, we were even more greatly inspired.  Dance Express premieres Tamara's Song with original musical by Juan Contreras, a Colorado-based flutist and member of Boulder-based Freyja Wild and the Gathering Storm. Thanks to Fort Fund, Colorado Creative Industries, and Poudre Golden Kiwanis for their support of our local non-profit.
