The New Florida Follies is the successor to the Original Florida Follies created by Cathy Dooley in 2001, and is responsible for donations of more than $825,000 to local children's charities since its inception. The cast is made up of talented former Radio City Music Hall Rockettes and dance professionals, plus brilliant choreographer and former Rockette Cheryl Steinthal, who creates dynamic numbers to classic show tunes and contemporary hits. Their dazzling stage performances have wowed audiences and inspired people of all ages to dance in the aisles, all while ticket sales supported children and families in need.

Dance with Jon Lehrer Dance Company
Jon Lehrer Dance Company (JLDC) began in 2007 in Buffalo, NY, and has already received critical acclaim nationally and internationally. JLDC’s expressive style is based on three main elements of movement — circularity, three-dimensionality, and momentum — which combine to create a form that is best described as “organically athletic.” JLDC tours extensively, receiving critical acclaim worldwide, and this year marks the fourth consecutive year the company will perform at the Norton Museum of Art.
