The Dance! Texas event weekend includes a dance concert by companies from around the state and a variety of master classes in hip hop, contemporary, tap, jazz, ballet and professional sports team dance.

The weekend event will be held on The University of Texas at Arlington campus at Texas Hall this Saturday and Sunday, February 14-15.

Persis Forster established Dance Theatre of Arlington back in 1980 to encourage dancers and dance education in The American Dream City.

It has grown from a small company with many civic performances to an organization that offers scholarships, master classes and public school outreach.

The Showcase begins Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
