SHINE! is a live-action history lesson about Black heritage in America told through dance, music, story telling and live African drumming. With ballet, tap, hip-hop, African dance, acrobatics and more, this show is a wonderful way for youth to celebrate the rich histories of African-American culture and artists. From the rich sounds of negro spirituals, to the dream of Dr. King and the golden toes of Bojangles to the innovation of Motown, SHINE! encompasses a wide array of themes that are integral to African-American heritage. Performed by the nationally-acclaimed youth dancers of the LSODance Company, performances of SHINE! enable students to have a cross-curricular experience and learn important historical information while also being exposed to the arts. |
