Des Moines, Dec. 12-15: Back on home turf, the dancers continue their holiday tradition with an extended weekend of performances at Hoyt Sherman Place.
Algona, Dec. 21-22: Just in the St. Nick of time, the company shares the stage with dancers from Algona, Bancroft, Humboldt and Clarion at the Ed & Betty Wilcox Performing Arts Center.
