Equinox Dance Company presents "Pure Exploration"

Equinox Dance Company puts a new spin on their Annual Children’s Performance with a presentation of Pure Exploration on Sunday December 9, 2012 at The Delaplaine Arts Center, 40 South Carroll Street. Shows are at 1pm and 3pm and tickets are $7 for Adults and $5 for Children under 12, available at the door, the day of the performance.

Children are swept away as dancers delve into rain-covered streets. They play along as dancers embody musical instruments and even get a turn to become insects as dancers imitate entomologists. This hour-long event includes the modern, jazz and tap dance performance with audience participation and a dance workshop for all of the children who attend. Performers from EDC’s Youth Dance Project will debut their modern dance and improvisation techniques and guest artists include Elite Feet Dance Studio. Audience members will dance along from their seats and each performance includes an interactive workshop where children go "exploring" to create their own dance movements.

 Pure Exploration is directed by Andrea Ligon. The show includes choreography from guests Sandra Atkinson, Gaye Meyer, and Mary Tawa, as well as Equinox’s resident choreographers.
