About the work: Dance Nation is a fierce and darkly comic play about a group of teenage dancers determined to become extraordinary. As they prepare for a major competition, their ambitions collide with questions of identity, desire, power, friendship, and the pressure to succeed.

The production explores the intensity of adolescence and the complicated relationship between young people and the adults who shape their dreams.
