Odyssey Dance Theatre will round out its 24th year with its popular Shut Up & Dance series – three separate programs in repertory – before they head out for their 13th consecutive European Tour, including Israel this time.

Odyssey’s Spring Repertory Season is where the dancers stretch their article muscle and create new, exiting works! This season will see the return of one of Odyssey’s favorite programs, and the hit of last season – MJ – to the music of Michael Jackson.

Chicago Nights – a full-length, world-premiere work that tells the story of Chicago in the 1920’s, when the specter of Prohibition gave rise to Speakeasys, Jazz and Gangsters.

And Purple Rain will consist of a repertory Act I with world premiere works from Derryl Yeager and other amazing choreographers (TBA). And Act II, tribute to the late, great Prince!

This year’s Shut Up & Dance will truly be one of the most amazing ODT seasons ever – bringing back old repertory favorites and creating priceless new works – certain to be a dance lover’s buffet – with something for everyone!
