Happy New Year!!  As we enter this new season—winter for some of us, summer for others, no change for still others—we can look around our planet with amazement and gratitude for the diversity of its people, cultures, and places.  This performance of the Spirit Light Dance Company (SLDC) is focused on how diversity is reflected in our dancing, on the way movement defines who we are, and on the manner in which our deepest spiritual yearnings are revealed.

Join us on January 19, 25, and 26, and prepare to dance your way around the world.  The show begins with a tribute to the Tatanka dances of Native Americans; and is followed by dance traditions found in England, Paris, Spain, Ukraine, Morocco, India, Pakistan, Japan, Australia, and Hawaii.  Special attention is given to the Gypsy cultures of central and eastern Europe, cultures for which dancing is often a wild and joy-infused passage into the spiritual core of their roving communities.  You will hear unusual instruments and unique accented rhythms as you complete this globe-trotting journey; but will be reminded that often there are common invisible movement threads that unify people everywhere in their expressions of joy and sadness, in their celebrations of life, and at those times in which they just “wanna dance”!  

SLDC is a Second-Life dance company that brings together the artistic potential of virtual-world technology and the full range of choreographic styles.  The result often leaves audience members with an irrepressible desire to tap their feet . . . and even get up and dance.  All dances are live and driven in real time by the performers.  The SLDC is a company comprised solely of volunteers, including the choreographers, the set designers, the back-office personnel and, of course, the dancers.  

Bring your passport and join us on January 19, 25, and 26 for this “World Fest” dance excursion.  The venue is the Rockcliffe University auditorium, the time is 12 noon SLT, and the seating is open.  Come early to get the best seats!  Tapping your toes is up to you!
