Last Friday, SIDEWAYS traveled to the Dunbar Recreation Center in Atlanta to perform a condensed version of Once Upon A Holiday to inner city children. This performance, approximately 30 minutes in length, included all of the show’s favorite characters including Alice, Mrs. Claus, the Reindeer, and the Grinch. Following the performance, SIDEWAYS cast members learned some dance move from the audience, including the cat daddy & the swag walk, and performed it with them in the grand finale. Both SIDEWAYS dancers and audience members had a fantastic time and we can’t wait to revisit our new Dunbar friends next year.

These Outreach performances are so important to us because we get to share our love of dance with students who might not have regular dance classes. Just in our short time with the students, we were able to see them transform from timid to confident. It was wonderful to see them open up to us and trust the SIDEWAYS cast. Next year, SIDEWAYS plans to expand their holiday outreach programming to more facilities with the help of the Dunbar Recreational Center.

Don’t miss your chance to see the full production of Once Upon A Holiday at 7 Stages theater in Little Five Points next week! See you there!

In between our three dance performances on Sunday, we had games and homemade treats for a day of family fun.

The three dance performances on Sunday included dancers from SIDEWAYS Contemporary Dance Company, as well as performers from Atlanta Dance Central and Foster-Schmidt Dance Academy for Down Syndrome. Dancers from SIDEWAYS kicked off the show, welcoming the audience and wowing them with their headpieces (see pictures below!) For the end of the show, dancers from SIDEWAYS and Foster-Schmidt came together for a “Thriller” of a finale. We will post a few video clips within the next few days for those who couldn’t make it, so stay tuned! Until then, enjoy a few pictures from our most recent Atlanta dance performance.

Though their performance was undoubtably well received, it was the Foster-Schmidt Dance Academy for Down syndrome  who really stole the show!

The Foster-Schmidt Dance Academy provides weekly classes and summer weekend workshops for people in the Down Syndrome community.  The dancers work in each class to improve their muscle tone, balance, and coordination as well as learn basic jazz and ballet movements.  The dancers perform in the Atlanta Dance Central recital held in May each year in addition to various performances in the community.  SIDEWAYS dancers can be seen teaching workshop classed and assisting with weekly classes as “buddies” to the participants.

A Huge thank you to Wherible GPS for their continued support!
