The Orange Peel Bakery in Aquinnah is not a traditional dance space. Yet this past Friday, it hosted the Brooklyn-based dance troupe Urban Bush Women in conjunction with the Yard.

The Yard is about to open its 50th season with a lively program of dance concerts, works in progress, DJ parties and public classes for all ages.

The Yard’s final dance residency of the year culminates this weekend with two performances by Jenna Pollack, a choreographer whose new work explores the half-century history of the Yard itself.

Jesse Keller Jason and Holly Jones are leaving the Yard, according to an announcement from the performance arts nonprofit.

For dancers LaTasha Barnes and Caleb Teicher, a Vineyard artist residency was an opportunity to explore new creative possibilities in a way that has not been possible this year.

Fluent in tap, Lindy Hop, jazz, hip-hop and other social dance forms, LaTasha Barnes and Caleb Teicher gave a virtual workshop and a concert Saturday.

After canceling its 2020 summer season due to the pandemic, the Yard is back with a virtual series of winter and spring performances.

UnExquisite Corpse blended a dance, music and theatre in Halloween weekend performances held outside the Martha’s Vineyard Museum.
