About the show:
Step into a world of movement, artistry, and imagination with Fall for Dance 2026, presented by the Pikes Peak State College Dance Department.

Act 1

features High Altitude Dance Ensemble (HADE), PPSC’s student performance company, in a collection of works exploring the ebb and flow of the human experience. Through the theme of Waxing/Waning, the dancers explore the shifting relationship between our past, present, and future selves—letting go of who we once were, embracing who we are today, and reaching toward who we hope to become. A second work delves into the familiar tension between feeling like we are too much or not enough, exploring the struggle to find balance, acceptance, and space to simply be ourselves. Act 1 also features a guest work by Emily Morgan, Chair of the Dance Department at Colorado State University, bringing an additional artistic voice to this dynamic collection of works.

Act 2 showcases the incredible versatility of our dancers, featuring performances from our Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Hip Hop classes. Experience a celebration of artistry, musicality, and dynamic movement as our students bring their passion to the stage.
