AND THE WINNER IS... and A DAY IN THE PARK Dance Concerts Set for Beck Center, 6/1-9

Beck Center's popular bi-annual dance concerts return this spring to the Mackey Main Stage. All students from the Dance Education Program at Beck Center participate in two uniquely different dance concerts the first two weekends in June. Tickets are on sale now.

"Our bi-annual concerts are reflective of the many types of dance that Beck Center offers," remarked Melanie Szucs, associate director of Dance Education. "These performance opportunities also give our students the chance to showcase their classroom efforts and progress by performing on stage in costume and make-up with professional lighting."

Youth, teen and adult dancers perform "And the Winner Is..." the weekend of June 1 and 2 with performances at 7 p.m. Saturday, and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday. This dance concert is a Hollywood-themed performance that highlights awards ceremonies, complete with a red carpet and award-winning music from the Grammys, Oscars and Tony Awards, plus popular hit songs.

Beck Center's youngest dance students, ages 3 to 7, perform "A Day in the Park," June 8 and 9, where they share their developing talents in an age-appropriate park and play-themed dance concert. Performances are 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. "Beck Center prides itself on offering quality technique-based instruction to all students regardless of their age or ability level," noted Szucs.

Tickets for each concert are $12 for adults and seniors, and $10 for children (18 and under) and may be purchased online at beckcenter.org or by calling Customer Service at 216.521.2540, ext. 10. Beck Center for the Arts is located at 17801 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, just ten minutes west of downtown Cleveland. Free onsite parking is available.
