LIFE, RHYTHM, MOVE PROJECT
Be ready for entertaining high-energy fun, but also for some deeper provocative themes and interaction. This company mines the community’s rich gems of wisdom, while using the dance stage as a place to bring people together. Hip Hop is employed as a powerful tool to engage the audience, and then becomes an entre to an enlightening cultural history experience.

NEXT REFLEX DANCE COLLECTIVE
Experience "Eventide," in which dance represents the ocean. Tides lapping gently on a gulf shore are wind-whipped into violent storm waves, which then settle back into moonlit calm. "Frayed" follows five women who struggle for peace in an agitated, chaotic world and support each other in quest of an absent eternity. A new work will also be premiered.

Jason Garcia Ignacio City Dance: "The Mountain" is rooted in Filipino folk dance and resonates with socioeconomic-environmental awareness.
