The Lied Center’s Performing Arts 3to5 program took preschool children to the stage again on Monday and Tuesday. The program introduces children to different art forms. This year’s program focused on dance, particularly the use of air in dance. The Lied Center hosted the Maryland-based Liz Lerman Dance Exchange for a weeklong residency, and the adult dancers worked with area children.

The Liz Lerman Dance Exchange will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Lied Center in “Ferocious Beauty: Genome,” which investigates the impact of genetic research through movement and theater.
