Störling kicks off the 2025-2026 season with the ever innovative New Dance Partners! Audiences will delight in a feast for the eyes as four new works are presented on Yardley Hall stage. For this festival of contemporary and modern dance, the Midwest Trust Center has enlisted four choreographers to create original works for four local dance companies to perform in one night.

The collaborative partners are:

• Störling Dance Theater, working with Dolly Sfeir

• The Kansas City Ballet, working with Caroline Dahm

• Owen/Cox Dance Group, working with Caili Quan

• Regina Klenjoski Dance Company, working with Jessi Stegall

Both evenings offer a pre-show talk with Artistic Advisor Michael Uthoff at 6:30 p.m.
