2009 will see the beginning of a collaboration between the Crested Butte Music
Festival and Crested Butte Dance Festival/Dansummer. The Crested Butte Dance
Festival/Dansummer is combining dancers from two exceptional and diverse
companies to synthesize a new artistic entity. Brian Santora's Coast 2 Coast Dance,
out of Boston, and Tony Coppola's Tap Ensemble, based in Las Vegas, are
bringing their dancers together creating a uniquely fresh dance presentation. Mr.
Coppola and Mr. Santora are choreographing contemporary, jazz, lyrical, and tap
pieces for the dancers from both coasts to fuse styles, techniques and rhythms for
three performances with the Music Festival in July. Four of the dancers will then
remain in Crested Butte to teach classes as part of Dansummer.

Crested Butte Dance Festival/Dansummer will be able to expand its class offerings
and add live musicians and singers to its programs. The Crested Butte Music
Festival will increase the size of its educational offerings to the local community and
enhance its collaborative outreach within the valley. East Coast meets West Coast
in Crested Butte's Rocky Mountains and Rhythm Fusion is the sensational outcome!
