Bon Iver will be back to your area soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

TU Dance co-founder Uri Sands resigned from the company<\/a> December 31st after a former employee accused him of sexual harassment in a lawsuit. An attorney for the accuser, Jeff Anderson, told the Star Tribune<\/i> that Sands had \u201csexually exploited\u201d his client and described the conduct as \u201cnonconsensual sexual intercourse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Sands admitted to being in a sexual relationship with the employee (who was not named in her lawsuit), he denied the allegations of misconduct via an attorney. In announcing his resignation, TU Dance said, \u201cWe believe Mr. Sands\u2019 resignation will help TU Dance move forward in providing a safe and healthy environment for all.\u201d Sands\u2019 wife, Toni Pierce-Sands, is set to stay on as the company\u2019s artistic director.<\/p>\n
