An annual showcase of some of the finest dance companies in Florida is back.
For the first time, the Daniel Lewis Dance Sampler will expand to the state's west coast — parts of which were recently devastated by Hurricane Ian.
In addition to performances at its usual venue at the New World School of the Arts, the featured companies will perform at Artis-Naples.
The Naples theater is offering free tickets to anyone affected by Hurricane Ian for select performances and events now through the December holiday season.
"Even in these dark times, having the arts in our lives can be such an incredible opportunity for people to feel like life is really worth living," says David Filner, Executive Vice President, Artistic Operations at Artis-Naples.
"This is why we do what we do," he says.
This year's sampler includes performances by Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, Ballet Flamenco La Rosa, Ballet Vero Beach, Dimensions Dance Theatre of Miami, Dance NOW! Miami, Miami Movement Collective, New World Dance Ensemble and the Zest Collective.
