2011 Nazareth Arts Center Dance Fest If you’ve got an appetite for dance, the 2nd Annual Nazareth College Arts Center Dance Festival will keep your plate full from this weekend through next. This year’s festival offers up an array of events, including outside performances, lectures, master classes, community dance classes, and strolling performances on both the Erie Canal and University Avenue’s ArtWalk. The four main-stage performances, however, are what should have you riveted. Two of the featured companies — Rochester’s own Garth Fagan Dance and New York City’s Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company — boast between them close to 20 Bessies/New York Dance and Performance

Awards. And that’s not counting the three Tony awards. What’s not to recommend? Speaking of awards, the festival announced this spring that it has formed a partnership with the Bessies that creates a new prize at the annual Bessie Awards. The award will give established New York City companies that have not yet toured the opportunity to do so, with Nazareth having the first claim on the touring performances. Nazareth’s first shot at that fresh, out-of-town talent via the new award will emerge at the 2012 Nazareth College Arts Center Dance Festival. For this year’s festival, we are already awash in established talent.
