On Sunday afternoon, 04/27/2014, CoEXISTdance juniors and professionals met at the Piazza at Schmidt's to perform for the 5th annual World Dance Day. We shared the stage with many other dance companies and performers from all over Philadelphia, including Contempradance Theatre Co., Underground Dance Works, Illstlye & Peace Productions, and more! Even CBS came to enjoy the fun, and they took some great pictures! Click here to view them!
This year, CoEXISTdance brought quite the variety of pieces! We performed Ballet, Hip Hop, Tap, and a brand new modern trio entitle "Blackbird". One of the most significant changes in our performance from last year is the involvement of the junior dancers. Three of the five pieces performed Sunday incorporated members of both companies. It is exhilarating to see how much these girls have blossomed since their start with CoEXIST. If their technique doesn't catch your eye, their smiles and bursting energies certainly will make you stop. The professionals have proudly stepped up as role models and show equal enthusiasm for dancing on stage with the mini CoEXISTer's.
World Dance Day was the perfect way to show off our hard working juniors, give a little taste of some new professional material, support the Philadelphia dance community, and most of all celebrate our dance passions with friends in the beautiful sunshine! We cannot wait for next year's World Dance Day already!
