The 7th annual Minnesota SAGE Awards for Dance

 made a new home for itself last night at the 

Cowles Center for Dance and Performing Arts

. And really, how could it be anywhere else?

Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts

Both the awards and the center were named after Sage Cowles, a long time supporter of the local dance scene, and a dancer in her own right. Along with her husband, John Cowles, Sage helped found the Minnesota Independent Choreographers' Alliance, helped fund the Barbara Barker Center for Dance at the University of Minnesota, and established the Cowles Land Grant Chair, which underwrites residencies by dancers, choreographers, critics, and other professionals in the field.
