TITAS presents the legendary PARSONS DANCE COMPANY

“It does not take long to see why Parsons and his company are the hottest tickets in contemporary dance.” –The Toronto Staff.

The TITAS 2006 Dance Season comes to a close with the return of PARSONS DANCE COMPANY on Friday & Saturday, May 5 & 6, 2006 at 8:00 PM at McFarlin Auditorium on the SMU campus. Always a TITAS favorite, Parsons Dance Company has maintained its place among the top modern dance companies for decades.

Sexy athleticism, contagious personality and joyous movement define Parsons Dance Company. Their style, shaped by David Parsons in over 70 works, is a fusion of the gesture and movement of modern dance and the discipline and precision of a classical company. They are truly an incomparable force in the dance world.
