10 Hairy Legs To Perform At Loree Dance Theatre

(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- 10 Hairy Legs returns to New Brunswick for its sixth consecutive season at a new location. This time the venue is the Loree Dance Theatre on Wednesday, March 21st at 7:30pm.  Tickets for the weeknight show are $10 General Admission.  The performance features the program seen in 10 states during the company’s national tour in the fall and winter, including debuts at The Kravis Center in West Palm Beach and Dance Place in Washington, DC. 

Choreographers Doug Elkins, Heidi Latsky, David Parker, Stephen Petronio and Megan Williams’ works comprise the program that has been lauded by audiences and critics throughout the US. The performance is underwritten in part by a grant from The Magyar Bank Charitable Foundation.

Palm Beach Daily News critic Demetrius Klein noted, “Gotta hand it to them: 10 Hairy Legs show what modern dance should be. The all-New Jersey based, all-male dance company 10 Hairy Legs showcases, by far, the best American male modern dancers one could have the good fortune of seeing these days. Palm Beach audiences were indeed fortunate to have that opportunity this weekend at the Kravis Center Rinker Playhouse." 

A Silent Auction to benefit the company will take place that evening in the lobby outside Loree Dance Theatre. Featured items include original artwork inspired by the company by Zachary Z. Handler and Stanley Pink, tickets to NJ theaters, restaurant packages, hand made Roku items by potter Ann Tsubota and much, much more.

Loree Dance Theatre is located on the Douglass Campus of Rutgers University, 70 Lipman Drive.
