It’s an important weekend for dance. Today (October 1) Merce Cunningham Dance Company stops in New Brunswick at the State Theatre for a one-night stand on its Legacy Tour, two-years of barnstorming Merce’s dances as they were meant to be danced. No more need be said, but here is an intro from Robert Johnson of the Star-Ledger.

On the local front, on Saturday at Grounds for Sculpture, the Outlet Dance Project offers dance classes of several genres (children’s, flamenco, and a group movement workshop that culminates in a dance performed the following day, Sunday, October 3, at 2 p.m.

This concert (admission $12 to the sculpture park) will feature the work of a dozen choreographers. Merde to all.
