The lights go down, and the curtain goes up. It’s showtime.
Dancers will take the stage this weekend at “Elements of Style 2010,” Santa Fe College’s annual dance performance.
The performance will showcase dancers from the past two semesters and will introduce Rodney A. Brown, the new assistant professor and artistic director of dance.
“This show is going to be amazing,” Brown said. “It goes from comedy to classical. There’s hip-hop. It’s a show for everyone.”
Brown said one of the solos is a new work titled “Odd Bird merrikore,” which features a live accompaniment of music by famous jazz musician Keith Jarrett.
Alora Haynes, chair of the dance program, said that Brown has proven himself as the most exciting addition to the dance program.
“People will recognize how riveting Rodney’s choreography is,” Haynes said. “It really captures your attention. You’re never aware of time. It’s like a good film. It has an impact on you.”
The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. General admission is $12 and free for Sante Fe College students and faculty.
