It's a bold move: divert traffic and open up East 14th Street at Playhouse Square for a huge, citywide dance festival.
The American Dance Festival in CLE (7/29-8/5/17) will bring top name dance artists like Pilobolous, Raphael Xavier and Brian Brooks to the Ohio, State and Allen theaters.
Meanwhile, celebrating the National Day of Dance on Sat 7/29 takes over an entire Downtown block, inviting Cleveland to join a mega-barre, local dance school showcases, a Dancing In The Streets event, and to cap it off, a Silent Disco Dance Party till 11PM. All free.

Named after a fungus that grows in barnyards, Pilobolus is renowned worldwide for its witty and gravity-defying works that challenge the notions of what modern dance can look like. Using the human body and movement, the company creates awe inducing shapes that push the imagination.
The National Day of Dance will kick off with a creative performance of audience favorite, Shadowland on Sat 7/29 at the State Theatre in Playhouse Square, which will take audience members on a dream-like adventure. Tickets start at $25. Visit DANCECleveland.org or call 216-241-6000.
