Dance in the Desert Festival 2008

The tenth annual Dance in the Desert Festival presents an impressive roster of local and visiting dance artists.

Martina Young from Reno, Nevada; Las Vegas Contemporary Dance Theater, Westwood and Dancers, Concert Dance Company, CSN Dance Ensemble, Saving Grace, Anthony Coppola, Cathy Allen, Lindsey Setzekorn, Gail Gilbert, Rupa Modern Dance Company, and Kelly Roth & Dancers all from Las Vegas.
