Irish choreographer and dancer Michael Keegan-Dolan returns to the stage for the first time in 20 years, joined by longtime collaborator Rachel Poirier. A delicious soundtrack that includes Stravinsky, Jacques Brel, Men Without Hats and Talking Heads drives the current. How to Be a Dancer weaves a playful, intimate and provocative coming-of-age story about a life in dance from memory’s pas de deux of fiction and reality.  “So strong, you’ll dance while sitting still” (The Arts Review).
