Dance Companies Take Stage At Uptown! In West Chester

WEST CHESTER, PA —Uptown Knauer Performing Arts Center Dance Series for the 2022-23 season kicks off with signature, retrospective performances by Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers, one of the country’s premier contemporary Asian-American dance companies.

“World-class dance will now be seen right here in West Chester,” said Carmen Khan, artistic director. “We're thrilled to be able to bring these three unique companies to Chester County audiences and our intimate venue is a wonderful setting for dance experiences.”

Kun-Yang Lin’s zen-inspired practice of dance manifests in lush works of poetic sensibility that the New York Times says “create and inhabit worlds of their own.”
