“Kiss” Sleeping Beauty with a twist

Midwest Youth Dance Theatre will present “Kiss,” Friday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Jan. 14, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., at the Hamline University Drew Fine Arts Center, 1536 Hewitt Ave., in Saint Paul.

“Kiss” includes more than 60 dancers, ages 10-18, some of whom are Northeast Minneapolis residents, telling the classic story of Sleeping Beauty with a modern-day twist. This unique production, told entirely through dance, brings to life the songs of Minnesota icon Prince.

“Kiss” is an original choreographic work of Emily Blacik Joos, Brad Hamilton, and Renee Starr, which combines dance styles such as contemporary, jazz, and musical theatre. The show brings together fairy tale dreaminess and the electric energy of Prince, guaranteeing an exciting journey for the audience.
