The Leelanau UnCaged 2024 Dance Performance Schedule
Here's a big thank you to all who applied to perform with us on the dance stage this year! We are delighted. Applications for 2025 will be posted after the first of the year.
Welcome to Leelanau UnCaged Dance 2024!
Most of those who attend Leelanau UnCaged end up dancing in the streets to our fabulous beats! But this year, for the first time, we are devoting an entire stage – at the heart of our festival – to dancers of multiple genres.
We are excited to announce that the Traverse City Dance Project is renting us its portable stage with a Marley floor specifically designed for outdoor performances! We welcome cultural dance, modern, ballet, jazz, and hip-hop dancers to apply.
All this is possible due to a generous grant from the Leelanau Township Community Foundation; and a gracious donation from Andy and Gloria Thomas. That grant will allow us to cover the costs of the stage and its canopy, along with stipends for a stage crew and performers.
The LTCF has supported us since we launched our very first UnCaged in 2013. Thanks again to our own hometown foundation!
