SOLO

Join us for SOLO on September 18 & 19, 2026 at 7:30 PM and September 19 at 2:00 PM at The O'Shaughnessy (2004 Randolph Ave., St. Paul, MN 55105).

Each year, three exceptional Minnesota dance artists are honored with the McKnight Dancer Fellowship. To celebrate their achievements, we commission a solo dance for each fellow from a choreographer of their choice.

The 2024 & 2025 Dancer Fellows have selected an outstanding group of local, national, and international dance artists to create new and reimagined works tailored for these exceptional performers. Expect an evening filled with Minnesota premieres featuring a variety of styles, including Afrobeats, Krump, and Contemporary Ballet!
