PULEIO DANCE FESTIVAL

Dante Puleio of  Lifetime TV's Your Mama Don't Dance along with Royal Family Productions brings you Puleio Dance Festival. An evening of contemporary dance featuring the works of Puleio with guest choreographers Phoebe Kelly and Jonathan Fredrickson. Puleio is dedicated to being the vehicle for making modern dance accessible to everyone. The goal of Puleio is to strip away the walls of mystery that sometimes shroud modern dance and keep it from becoming a stale artform. Puleio is a company soon to be forced into the spotlight, being recognized for its clarity and viewpoint, and the dancers for their elegance, beauty, fierce athleticism, and their boundless energy.
