County Prep Hosts Robert Mark Dance – Professional Company

The Fall 2019 CHIRP residency program culminates with a performance by professional dance company Robert Mark Dance on December 6 & 7 at County Prep High School. Choreographer and dancer Robert Mark Burke has been working with the dance students at County Prep this semester, training them in modern dance as part of their daily classes. Mr. Burke, a resident of Jersey City and dancer with 10HL and the renowned Lucinda Childs Dance Company, has been in residence with his professional company since September.

The performances will end with a question and answer session, offering students and audience an opportunity to learn more about this artists work and the life of a dancer/choreographer.
