On Saturday, February 18, 2012, at 8:00 pm, City in Motion Dance Theater will present its ninth annual A Modern Night at the Folly.

Since 1985, City in Motion has provided opportunities for local choreographers to present their work through the Choreographers' Showcase, the New Dance Series, and Dance in the Park. A Modern Night at the Folly is a continuation of that tradition.

This year's performance will feature the choreography of Janet Charleston, Dale Fellin, Kimberly Holloway, Elaine Kimble-Peaks, Allison McKinzie, Jennifer Medina, Erin Muenks, Maggie Osgood Nicholls, Jennifer Owen, Stephen Plante and Nichole Raab.

This event is partially funded by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency, The Neighborhood Tourism Development Fund, a grant from The Greater Kansas City Community Trust and Foundations, and by The Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City.
