Fermilab brings the best of dance in Chicago together

"Stars of Dance Chicago" will feature at least 10 dance companies in one evening at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 23, in the Ramsey Auditorium at Fermilab, off Pine Street in Batavia.

Tickets are $28, $14 for ages 18 and younger.

This Fermilab tradition returns to Ramsey Auditorium. Curator John Schmitz of the Dance Chicago Festival always pulls together an extraordinary variety to bring the best of Dance Chicago to Fermilab.

With a slate of usually more than 10 dance companies involved, there is always something for everyone.

So far the 2016 Stars of Dance Chicago includes Trinity Irish Dancers, Tre Dumas, Gus Giordano Dance, Tristan Bruns/Tapman (tap), Chicago Dance Crash (dance/theatre), Ballet 5:8 (pointe), Christine Rich Dance Theatre (pointe), Forum Dance Theatre (contemporary), Visceral Dance Chicago (contemporary) and more.

For further information or telephone reservations, call (630) 840-ARTS (2787) weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. At other times an answering machine will give you information and a means of placing ticket orders. You may also receive more information or order online at www.fnal.gov/culture. Tickets are nonrefundable.

On the evening of the event, the box office opens an hour prior to the performance time and will-call tickets can be picked up, or available tickets purchased, at that time. Tickets purchased online will be held at the door for will-call.

Ramsey Auditorium is located in Wilson Hall, the central building of Fermilab. Wilson Hall, a high-rise, is accessible from the west on Kirk Road at Pine Street or from the east on Batavia Road in Warrenville.

At this time both the Pine Street entrance from Kirk Road in Batavia and the Batavia Road entrance west of Route 59 in Warrenville are open. Visit www.fnal.gov/culture.
