San Diego Civic Dance Company invites you to their critically acclaimed dance show in the beautiful and historic Casa del Prado Theatre in Balboa Park. Winner of the 2014 Bravo award for best dance show in San Diego and finalist for this year's Bravo Award, Collage 2016 delivers a show that is certain to impress. Breathtaking costumes, imaginative set pieces, gorgeous theatrical lighting, and 85 professionally trained dancers performing in various dance styles such as tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, modern and musical theater. Also featured this year is a piece by internationally recognized choreographer Mark Morris from the New York City based Mark Morris Dance Group. "Polka" premiered in New York City in 1992 and permission for the San Diego Civic Dance Company to learn and perform this complex piece was granted by the Mark Morris Dance Group with Megan Williams, Mark Morris' rehearsal assistant, coming out to stage the piece on the Company this past July. Come experience the power and joy of dance at its finest. "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." Alan Watts Imaginative, surprising and a visual treat for the whole family!
Editor's Note: San Diego Civic Dance is one of the great cultural treasures in San Diego. Their yearly Collage program has dances that are often choreographed by nationally and internationally renowned choreographers. While they primarily focus on American styles of dance, throughout the years they have also featured Irish, Bollywood, Polynesia, Latino and other international styles. Civic Dance Arts provides dance instruction throughout the city. As such, the dancers in the program represent a wide cultural diversity. The Collage series features dances from the program's very best dancers. A great deal of effort, talent and creativity goes into their costuming and the sets, lighting and sound. For the high quality of performance, the ticket prices are a great bargain. If you have never seen a Collage show, do yourself (and family) a favor and go. You won't be disappointed! If you have school-aged children, find out more about their classes. At 45 dollars per semester their classes are a tremendous bargain (scholarships are available).
Each year San Diego Civic Dance partners with The Worldview Project for the Harmony and Motion International Music and Dance Festival held in September.
