Dance: Collage 2012 - Defining Moments

The city of San Diego is home to one of the premiere civic dance programs in the nation. San Diego's Civic Dance Arts offers dance classes to thousands of dancers who hail from every neighborhood in San Diego. The best of these dancers audition for one of the select dance companies that receive advanced training including the opportunity to learn from internationally recognized choreographers. Each February these premiere dancers perform their acclaimed Collage program, a two hour show that embraces a wide variety of dance styles and traditions. Student perform jazz, tap, lyrical, hip-hop, modern and contemporary dance numbers but past Collage shows have also featured Bollywood, Latin, Hawaiian, Mexican Folk (Ballet Folklorico), Irish and other international styles. For the 2011 Cultures and Harmony and Motion International Music and Dance Concert, Civic Dances Arts Company dancers wowed the audience dancing to live Klezmer and Transcultural Jazz music. The H&M concert ended with the Company's extravagant and resplendent Bollywood finale. The Civic Dances Arts program is one of the real treasures in San Diego. See for yourself, you won't be disappointed! - Tom

The theme for this year's Collage is "Defining Moments." It's a show that uses the power of dance to express those moments that have informed, inspired and transformed our lives.
