The Omaha Dance Project — Omaha’s original city-wide celebration of dance — will mark its tenth anniversary March 6 through 8 with performances of classical and contemporary dance works, highlighted by the 19th-century Russian classic Paquita.
Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7, and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 8, at the Jewish Community Center Theater, 333 S. 132nd Street in Omaha.
In addition to Paquita — staged by former Ballet Omaha and Cincinnati Ballet professional dancer Juliette Henning — ODP will include works by Omaha choreographers Ashley Durst, Danielle Laurion, Nichol Mason Lazenby, and Lynne Nevin, Lerner said. Guest performances by the Tbd. Dance Collective, the UNO Moving Company, and the JCC Dance Training Company will round out the program.
