Dance Planet 17 is the latest incarnation of a 17 year-old phenomenon that grew out of the DFW metroplex and surrounding North Texas dance community. Join us at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing & Visual Arts in the Dallas Arts District for two days of exciting dance opportunities. Do a little samba, mix in some mambo and jazz, add in some Pilates, and shake it up with Afro-Caribbean. Couple all that with a Special Appearance Hour. Then add in an afternoon Performance Showcase of dance styles from around the world. In a nutshell, this is Dance Planet 17. Something for everyone. And it’s all free!
17 Years of Fun, Food, Family
An alphabet soup of dance styles …
from African to tap, and in between ballet, belly dance, Bharatha Naatyam, Charleston, folklorico, hip-hop, Lindy, modern and swing.
~ Margaret Putnam/Dance Critic
