Founded by Ted Shawn, a pioneer of modern dance, Jacob’s Pillow is a dance mecca located in Becket, Massachusetts, in the Berkshires.

Near Tanglewood and Williamstown, Jacob’s Pillow – named after the bible character who put his head on a rock and dreamt of a ladder to heaven – is a real rhythmic destination for diehard dance fans. 

With so much history, culture, educational resources and natural surrounds, more people tell us they’re going to see us here than on any other tour stop.

They can catch us next at the center’s 2024 dance festival, where we will have a five- performance run.

See us on the outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage overlooking the Berkshires from August 7 to August 10, 2024 at 6 pm; and on August 11, 2024 at 12 pm. 

Our program:

The Fugue by Twyla Tharp;

Bach Duet by Twyla Tharp; and

Bliss by Johan Inger.
