Celebrate Summer’s Final Days with a Morning of Dance and Music at Market Street

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is teaming up with Market Street - The Woodlands to host a lively Summer Send-Off on Tuesday, August 12 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Families are invited to join the fun as The Pavilion welcomes Open Dance Project, an ensemble-driven dance theater company known for creating world-class interactive performances throughout Houston.

This free community event will feature a high-energy dance workshop called Staging Stories Live—an interactive dance theater performance built on audience suggestions. Kids become part of the creative process as dancers bring their ideas to life on stage. With a focus on creativity and collaboration, performers craft choreography, dialogue and music on the spot, introducing young audiences to dance, theater and music concepts in a fun and engaging way.

In addition to the dancing delight, guests can explore The Pavilion’s Instrument Petting Zoo, where children can see, touch and play real instruments up close. Volunteers will also be on hand helping young guests create their very own dance ribbon wand crafts to take home.

“We’re excited to help families close out summer with a celebration that blends movement, music and creativity,” Ashley Gravois, Assistant Director of Arts Outreach at The Pavilion. “It’s a fun and engaging way to connect with the arts before the school year begins.”
