The purpose of Persistent Spring is to showcase the achievements of the 
pre-professional/early career dance artists participating in the 3rd Coast and the Claire Bataille Legacy programs. Both programs offer affordable, professional training to qualified, experienced dancers ages 17-26. Over 80% of dancers from both training programs are currently dancing professionally in Chicago, New York City, and the Midwest.
