FREE Community Performance in Honor of Anniversary Season
Ronald K. Brown has emerged as a distinctive and strong choreographer in contemporary dance. His work celebrates the universal importance of the African American experience to world culture and history. This exceptional artist promotes forward thinking and open mindedness about life's possibilities. Music which is a universal language, will play a critical role in his approach which will also cross language and cultural barriers. Ronald K. Brown will also inspire the community to think, feel and listen to the instruction at the heart of the dance story.
Brooklyn-born Ronald K. Brown has been called "one of the few major choreographers to emerge in American modern dance in the last 10 years" by The New York Times. His work brings together modern dance, West African traditional dance, and urban street styles to form a powerful and unique vocabulary of movement.

Everything about them is first-class: the music, the band, the voices, the arrangements, the technical quality, the CD artwork and design.
