Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world. Clare Barrons razor-sharp play tells the story of 6 pre-teen girls and one boy (played by actors of all ages) in a competitive dance troupe from Liverpool, Ohio whose competitive season, under the expert guidance of Dance Teacher Pat, is leading to the finals. If they keep winning theyll make it all the way to Nationals in Tampa. And theyll get there on an airplane. But, the more you think you know about this play and these characters, the more they will surprise you.

BWW Review: DANCE NATION at The Ringwald is a Sight to Behold - Full of Surprises!
March 05, 2020 The Michigan premiere of Dance Nation is currently running until March 16th at The Ringwald. Clare Barron's play was a 2019 Pulitzer Prize finalist and, also, won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and the Relentless Award (in a tie with Sarah DeLappe's The Wolves.) After successful runs at Playwrights Horizons in New York and at Chicago's famed Steppenwolf Theatre, The Ringwald is proudly presenting the Michigan premiere of Barron's play. Dance Nation is an almost indescribable play - it's honestly one you have to see to believe, but that's half the fun in it. Plus, having Dance Nation in the hands of The Ringwald - it couldn't be in more capable of hands - it's the perfect theatre for the Michigan premiere of this play.
