Ok, so you're perplexed on what to watch now that Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance have both finished their seasons. We feel your pain. I mean, how else are you supposed to practice your movers for the company holiday party? Well, dance friends, you are in luck.

If you missed the 2007 Dance Salad Festival, catch a special (read: free) screening of highlights from the 2007 Festival performances at the Museum of Fine Arts’ Brown Auditorium. A reception hosted by the MFAH will follow in the foyer of the Caroline Weiss Law.

Don’t miss the Bolshoi Ballet’s star dancer, Natalia Osipova. Her performance at Dance Salad Festival was only one of four in the United States to date. Four months after this performance, the International Herald Tribune wrotes of her London performance, “Sensational new young soloist, Natalia Osipova, 21, sent the usually staid British audiences into a standing, shouting ovations and created ecstasy among the sometimes finicky critics.”

Dance Salad Festival

Dance Salad Festival provides a venue for local, national and international choreographers, across dance disciplines, to present their work to the Houston community in a collaborative-curated performance at the city's premiere theater complex, the Wortham Center.
