Hilton Head ~ Terpsichore

From Classical to Contemporary Hilton Head Dance Theatre Presents Terpsichore
Hilton Head Dance Theatre will present its annual performance of classical and contemporary dance featuring company members and distinguished guest artists on Saturday, April 6th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 7th at 2:30 p.m. The program takes its name from Terpsichore, the Greek muse of dance, and is always an audience favorite.
The program will open with Concerto – a high energy, neo-classical ballet choreographed by Karena Brock-Carlyle to Tchaikovsky’s Third Piano Concerto. The ballet will feature five lead couples and a corps de ballet. The middle portion of the program will be dedicated to contemporary works beginning with the world premiere of a new ballet by Jamal Edwards. Entitled Prism, this contemporary ballet is set to the music of Philip Glass. Former Broadway dance captain Kathleen Watkins will stage the iconic Fosse piece, Crunchy Granola Suite. This Fosse masterpiece is pulled from his hit Broadway show Dancin’ and was inspired by the hit single by Neil Diamond. The program will conclude with Snow White, a charming one act ballet choreographed by Karena Brock-Carlyle and John Carlyle. It was inspired by the classic fairy tale and is set to the music of Mark Knopfler.
