Dance Showcase

Dance Showcase, presented by Sheldon & Terry Adelman, brings the area’s finest dance artists onto one stage. Featuring an array of dance styles from classical ballet to hip hop, ballroom to Indian, and everything in between, Dance Showcase presents the richly diverse dance community we are so fortunate to have in Northeast Ohio.  

The generosity of our donors allows us to present this event free of admission and open to all. Tickets will be available to the public at a later date.
