You may have seen Severin Brotschul or his girlfriend Jessica He working summer days at the River Club Glen Arbor. Now you can watch them ply their trade on stage during an upcoming Traverse City Dance Project performance. The project is a realization of professional dancer and choreographer Brent Whitney’s dream to bring top-tier dance back to his hometown of Traverse City and to “ensure that the vibrant community of northern Michigan can readily access and afford opportunities to experience the art of dance at its finest.” Traverse City Dance Project launched in 2012. This is Severin and Jessica’s first year with Whitney’s company.

The Traverse City Dance Project performs at The Homestead resort near Glen Arbor on Saturday, July 27, at 7:30 pm. Pre-show begins at 6:30 pm. Featuring live music by composer, cellist, and vocalist Jordan Hamilton, the Traverse City Dance Project brings top-tier professional dance to Northern Michigan. Enjoy pre-show music by Hamilton before experiencing choreography by Matthew Neenan, Jennifer McQuiston Lott, Rachel Harris, and a premiere by artistic director Brent Whitney. The group’s 2024 summer tour includes performances in in Kalkaska (Railroad Square, 3 pm) on July 28, Frankfort (Garden Theater, 7:30 pm) on July 30, Charlevoix (East Park Pavilion, 7:30 pm) on July 31, Traverse City (Rotary Square, 7:30 pm) on August 3, and the Grand Traverse Commons Historic Barns Park on August 6, from 7-10 pm.

The TC Dance Project returns once again to Leelanau County’s historic barns and pastoral landscape. In collaboration with the Glen Arbor Arts Center, the dance performance will be held on Saturday, July 30, from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Nash Road Red Barn near Maple City—on property owned by an Arts Center board member.
