Dimensional Dance provides the dancers, choreography, music, and costumes.
The schools provide busing to the show and chaperones to the show.
I can show the different types of dance: ballet, modern, jazz, hip hop and contemporary. I can understand that jazz and hip hop dance were both created in the United States. I can understand that Frida Kahlo had a really hard life but created beautiful artwork despite this.
Dimensional Dance performs exciting styles of dance. We show a beautiful new ballet called One Art based on Elizabeth Bishop's poem and a breakdancing battle between Savage Henry and Tiger, who made the top 40 in So You Think You Can Dance. We share the story of Mexican born painter Frida Kahlo and her show her affection for her new husband Diego Rivera and resilience through dance.
200 tickets in total for the one off site show
Volunteering in the form of chaperoning is necessary and greatly appreciated for the bus ride and performance.
