Dance Soup

The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts Dance Department presents its annual Dance Soup Concert, January 26-27 in the Charter Arts Theatre, located at 321 East 3rd Street, Bethlehem. Dance Soup is an informal concert of student-choreographed works. It provides students with the opportunity to practice the skills they learn in Improvisation and Dance Composition classes. Through a lengthy process involving faculty acceptance of a student proposal, the auditioning of fellow classmates, setting rehearsal schedules, creation of a work, and attending mentoring sessions with faculty members, the student sharpens their leadership and choreographic skills. The end result consists of nearly thirty pieces of work from a variety of genres of dance with wide-ranging musical selections that come together to be a complete and diverse concert! The concert director is Jennifer Dite-Weaver.

Dance Soup performances will take place on January 26 & 27. Evening performances at 7 p.m. on both dates, and a matinee performance on January 27 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $13 Adult, $11 Senior/Student. Tickets can be purchased in advance online at www.CharterArts.org or at the door. Shows do tend to sell-out so advanced ticket purchase is encouraged.
