Our 2026 Summer Tour was officially our largest-attended summer tour to date, bringing professional dance and live music to communities across Northern Michigan—from Kalkaska and Bellaire to Frankfort, Charlevoix, Traverse City, and Petoskey!

This year, we were especially excited to add two new tour stops in Bellaire and Petoskey, reaching new audiences and continuing to grow TCDP’s presence throughout the region.

But this summer was about so much more than what happened onstage. We shared meaningful post-show Q&As with our dancers, choreographers, and musicians, offered free dance classes for local children, and created opportunities for audiences of all ages to connect directly with our artists.

For 15 seasons, our mission has remained at the heart of everything we do: bringing exceptional professional dance to Northern Michigan and making it accessible to everyone. All but one of our performances were completely FREE to the public—and your support makes that possible.

As we close this milestone season, please consider making an end-of-summer gift to TCDP. Every donation—$25, $50, $100, $500 or whatever is meaningful to you—helps us employ professional artists, create new work, reach more communities, and keep dance accessible.

❤️ Help us celebrate 15 incredible seasons and begin the next 15.

And if you missed us this summer, stay tuned! We’ll soon be sharing a recording of our 2026 Summer Tour performance so you can experience the season from wherever you are.

Thank you to every artist, audience member, donor, sponsor, volunteer, and community partner who made this our biggest summer yet. We couldn’t do it without you.
