I can understand the different types of dance. I can appreciate how jazz and hip hop dance were created in the United States. I can appreciate that Frida Kahlo had a challenging life but created power art work from her struggles.
Dimensional Dance shows starts with a beautiful new ballet called One Art based on Elizabeth Bishop's poem.
We share breakdancing battle between Savage Henry and Tiger, who made the top 40 in So You Think You Can Dance. We share through dance the story of Mexican born painter Frida Kahlo, the affection she felt for her new husband Diego Rivera. and the love of her family that sustained her through her tragic accident
