Dance Contempra

performs in Peachtree City this weekend

Dance can be

traced back from the beginning of time. It has been and is still used

to express happiness and sadness, as well as, for ritualistic and liturgical

purposes.

The parent

of classical ballet is Baroque dance. It grew and evolved when choreographers

began to experiment with lines and placement as the need to keep the audiences

interested grew, with that need, eventually, the Pointe shoe was introduced.

The strength talent and training needed with pointe work continued to

wow audiences for many, many more years.

Today dance

continues to evolve, from classical ballet into contemporary, classical

jazz into funk and hip-hop, classical tap into hoofin and rhythmical.

Dance companies all over the world are introducing new ideas and inspiration

from New York City, San Francisco to American Ballet theatre and Atlanta

Ballet Company.

This weekend,

audiences will witness the evolution of dance. Dance Contempra will honor

the classical, while embracing the contemporary as they present "Evolution."

The show will run Friday, May 30, at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, May 31, at
