Dance St. Louis presents a smorgasbord of dance this weekend with the return of the Spring to Dance festival. More than 30 companies specializing in tap, ballet, contemporary and folk dance perform during the festival, which runs from Thursday to Saturday (May 23 to 25) at the Touhill Performing Arts Center on the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus (1 University Drive at Natural Bridge Road; www.touhill.org). Each night starts with a free half-hour show in the lobby, followed by a 6 p.m. set in the Lee Theatre (tickets are only $5). The evening is capped off with a 7:30 p.m. show in the Anheuser-Busch Performance Hall (tickets are $20 to $35). For the low price of $25, you can see a minimum of eleven companies each night — that's a bargain.
