After fourteen festivals and a pause, the Eastside's contemporary dance festival comes back for its fifteenth year. Meydenbauer Center Theatre, Bellevue, WA.

CHOP SHOP is a contemporary dance festival founded in 2008 and produced by Inlet Arts. We bring choreographers from the Eastside, across the country, and around the world to Bellevue — with master classes, post-show conversations, and free community classes open to every age and ability.

…one of the region’s most important dance events.
