Polaris Dance Theatre is thrilled to expand its season by adding a third full evening concert. Our all-new  Snowman and the Red Thread is sure to become a family classic. This season also marks our 10th anniversary which we will celebrate at our Gala and with our fall concert Tangled at Lincoln Hall. The season kicks off this June with our studio show X-Posed. In addition to our three full evening length works Polaris produces two dance festivals annually – The Groovin’ Greenhouse and Galaxy Dance Festival at Director Park. These showcases are non curated and feature a mix of established as well as yet-to-be discovered dance organizations in the Portland area. Read below for season information. NOTE: While Polaris doesn’t offer season ticketing yet, we do have a discount program for our fans that see multiple shows. As long as you order tickets directly through us you will automatically receive increasing discounts the more you see.
