Also back by popular demand to close our 40th Anniversary season
(!), this wonderful company of dancers and musicians does it all –
high-energy dancing; a variety of instrumental and vocal music;
musical stories; and comical skits. You are never sure what is
coming next, but you can be sure that it will always be highly
creative and refreshingly fun-filled. This particular show
features the greatest hits of over 23 years of professional
performances. Rhythm In Shoes has toured overseas and around
the country, including the Chautauqua Institute in New York, Wolf
Trap in Virginia, and with several prominent orchestras. This
is a great family show that engages all ages in an extraordinary
rhythmical tour of America’s cultural heritage.
Rhythm in Shoes is a company of dancers & musicians based in Dayton,
Ohio.
Rooted in traditional forms of American music and dance—swing tunes
& tap, hoedowns & clogging—the varied repertoire of Rhythm in Shoes,
directed by choreographer Sharon Leahy and composer Rick Good, is at
once original and recognizable. Since 1987, this critically
acclaimed body of work has infused the spirit of traditional dance
and music with a thoroughly modern sensibility. Rhythm in
Shoes has toured in 47 states as well as Canada, Japan and Ireland,
pursuing the company’s mission: to engage the world in music and
dance.
From the concert hall, to the cabaret, to the classroom, the
creation of exciting and thought-provoking work is achieved by
maintaining a strong company of musicians and dancers, and by
collaborating with other, like-minded artists who are steeped in
tradition and pushing their boundaries.
