 SPRING TO DANCE FESTIVAL Returns Memorial Day Weekend ST. LOUIS, MO, (SLFP.com), May 13, 2012 - Dance St. Louis and the Touhill Performing Arts Center present the 5th Annual Emerson SPRING TO DANCE® FESTIVAL 2012 on Thursday, May 24 through Saturday, May 26. The world-renowned shape-shifters of Pilobolus, the rousing and enthusiastic performances of the Lula Washington Dance Theatre, the sophisticated and striking Ballet X, are just a few of 30 dance companies participating in the Memorial Day Weekend event. Dance St. Louis Artistic and Executive Director Michael Uthoff, who created SPRING TO DANCE® in 2008, said that now that the festival was heading into its fifth year, he had developed a winning formula for the programs: companies that appeared the year before, companies that did not appear that year but did appear in a previous festival, and companies new to St. Louis. This ensures the return of audience favorites while keeping the mix constantly fresh. "For instance, I am excited about the return of River North Chicago Dance Company and Buckets and Tap Shoes, who captivated everyone when they were here two years ago," Uthoff said. "New companies include Q Dance from Canada and Jennifer Muller/The Works from New York." "As usual we also love showcasing St. Louis' own companies," Uthoff said, "so we have invited Saint Louis Ballet, MADCO, and Common Thread Contemporary Dance Company." At last year's fourth annual festival, the Friday and Saturday performances sold out. Tickets range from $35 to $50 for Friday and Saturday evening. All seats are $30 for the Saturday matinee. Tickets are available at the Dance St. Louis box office at 3547 Olive St. in the Centene Center for Arts and Education in Grand Center, by calling 314-534-6622, or by visiting dancestlouis.org St. Louis Dance Events  Center of Contemporary Arts (COCA) 524 Trinity, 314-367-3440 Dance St. Louis at the Fox Theatre 527 N.
