LEWISTON — The Bates Dance Festival presents Rennie Harris PureMovement performing their show “Lifted” at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, July 20 and 21, at Schaeffer Theatre, 329 College St., Lewiston. A gala reception precedes Friday’s performance.
Harris is known for taking hip hop dance from the inner city to a mainstream audience. Delving into the tapestry of house music and dance, “Lifted” explores tensions between self-determination and family, religion and society.

Tickets for the July 20 gala are $60. Tickets for the shows are $25 for adults, $18 for seniors and $12 students. Tickets and FMI: batesdancefestival.org.
