2022-11-05 17:30 - 19:30 | Demeester Outdoor Performance Center, Reid Park, 920 S. Concert Place, Tucson, AZ, 85716, United States
Leaps for Lives 10th Annual Fall Showcase
November 5, Saturday, 5:30 pm | Tickets
Demeester Outdoor Performance Center at Reid Park
The Leaps for Lives Dance Company is proud to announce the 10th annual Leaps for Lives Dance Showcase. We are thrilled to celebrate a decade of dance on a mission by hosting this show in person for the first time since 2019. This community-based production welcomes a variety of talented guest artists and local vendors along with food trucks and raffle prizes for an evening of fun for a good cause. Vendors open at 4:30 pm at the Demeester Outdoor Performance Center at Reid Park.
Guest performers include 520 Dance Company, FUNHOUSE Movement Theater, Siva Maia Polynesian Dancers, ZUZI! Dance, University of Arizona Black & Blue Crew, and Dancesequences Inc.
Each year Leaps for Lives donates 100% of the Fall show proceeds to a local 501(c)3 that represents an area of animal welfare. We strive to choose beneficiaries that address community issues with a focus on marginalized and underserved areas. Over the past decade we’ve learned that the biggest strain on animal welfare organizations is pet overpopulation. There are simply more pets in our community than there are homes to care for them. Spaying and neutering our pets is vital to prevent the unwanted litters that are brought to shelters and rescues or abandoned each year.
BENEFICIARY
This year we have chosen Spay and Neuter Solutions, a local 501(c)3 that provides affordable spay and neuter services to pet owners in order to reduce the number of homeless pets in Southern Arizona. During the past 19 years, Spay and Neuter Solutions funded 29,651 spay and neuter surgeries, ultimately saving the lives of countless cats and dogs. We are excited to support their mission and promote a better future for our favorite companions.

“Like a puzzle of shifting shapes and formations, Peck’s first ballet for NYCB showcases his keen eye for manipulating bodies to form complex geometric structures and unique patterns.”
– New York City Ballet

His dynamic and innovative style transcends traditional ballet and musical theater performance settings and has made him a sought after television and film choreographer. His most recent film credit is as choreographer for the Oscar nominated Steven Spielberg movie WEST SIDE STORY, solidifying his reputation as the next Jerome Robbins. His ballet IN CREASES is set to Philip Glass’ “Four Movements for Two Pianos,” and premiered in 2012, leading to Peck being named the New York City Ballet’s Resident Choreographer in 2014 and Artistic Advisor in 2019.
