Audiences will delight in a feast for the eyes as four new works premiere on Yardley Hall stage. For the 10th festival of contemporary and modern dance, the Midwest Trust Center has enlisted four choreographers to create original works for four local dance companies to perform at the world premieres. Each new work will then be owned by the dance company for two years for use in their own programs. This year, the collaborative partners are: The Kansas City Ballet, working with Gina Patterson Owen/Cox Dance Group, working with Norbert De La Cruz III Störling Dance Theatre, working with Kyra Jean Green Wylliams/Henry Contemporary Dance Company, working with Omar Román De Jesús

Are you buying a business? Or are you one of 10,000 Baby Boomers who are retiring every DAY and planning to sell your business? How much is the business worth? We’ll look at a real-life example and business valuation techniques, including multiples of revenue and/or earnings and comparable sales. We’ll also discuss red flags, how to determine if it’s a good business to buy, and best practices whether as buyer or seller.
