Mercer Dance Ensemble Comes to the Kelsey Theatre, 5/23-24

The Mercer Dance Ensemble (MDE), featuring Mercer County Community College (MCCC) students and community dancers, presents "Modern Classics" at Kelsey Theatre. Performances will be held Saturday, May 23 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 24 at 2 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located on Mercer's West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.

MDE will present a fast-paced production as dancers combine lyrical movement with impressionistic and symbolic storytelling. Contributing choreographers include faculty members, MCCC alumni and current students, who will blend their talents in a performance incorporating a variety of modern and international dance styles as it celebrates the body in motion.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, and $14 for students. Tickets are available online at www.kelseytheatre.net, by calling the Kelsey Theatre Box Office at 609-570-3333, or in person at the box office.

Free parking is available next to the theatre. Kelsey Theatre is wheelchair accessible and provides assisted listening devices upon request.

The MCCC Dance program includes the study of jazz, ballet, and modern dance styles from the fundamentals to advanced instruction. With the benefit of small classes and individualized instruction, students may earn either an A.A. degree, which prepares them for transfer as juniors into a bachelor of arts program in Dance, or an A.F.A. degree in the Performing Arts, a transfer program in which they combine conservatory training in theatre, dance and music with education in the liberal arts and sciences.
