WATCH: Dance On The Lawn Festival Returns To Montclair

Feeling footloose?

The 2nd annual Dance on the Lawn Festival will return on Saturday, Sept. 12, to the lawn of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Montclair from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

More than ten dance companies and schools will be featured in the afternoon program, a free, public outdoor event.

According to a release, Dance on the Lawn was established to increase New Jersey’s exposure to dance by bringing professional and emerging companies, plus students of dance from around the state, together to perform in a community setting. In addition to offering presentation opportunities, Dance on the Lawn has created an Emerging Commissioned New Jersey Choreographer and mentor program to help support young, emerging artists.

Dance on the Lawn’s first Emerging New Jersey Choreographer Robert Mark Burke will be presenting new work at this year’s festival.
