Welcome to LOVE FEST: A Celebration of Dance, Passion, and All the Ways We Love
Get ready for a wild ride through the messy, magical, heart-wrenching, soul-fueling journey that is love. This is Passion The Adult Dance Studio’s fourth full-length showcase—and it’s not your average dance show.
Performed by the incredible humans of The Savage Sanctuary—dancers with full-time jobs, families, bills, and a million adult responsibilities who still make space to chase their dreams—LOVE FEST is a vibrant expression of what happens when you choose yourself and let your passion lead.
These 12 electric pieces will take you through love in all its forms: joyful, painful, sensual, ridiculous, and real. You’ll laugh, cry, and feel it all. These dancers aren’t just moving—they’re telling stories. Their own stories. And tonight, they’re dancing them out loud—for you.
