Description

The Dance Eclectic is bringing an original show to the Black Box Theatre January 7 & 8, 2022. The Ring Leader is based on the movie "The Greatest Showman." The story starts with our Ring Leader orchestrating the entire circus. A Newcomer to the circus has joined but does not quite fit in with each act. She tries out all of the different things but eventually the Ring Leader sees her talent for organizing and running the show. She helps the Newcomer hone her skills as the Ring Leader is ready to retire. Eventually the Newcomer takes over and becomes the New Ring Leader. Original choreography by the members of The Dance Collective tells a story through genres of dance ranging from classical ballet to modern dance to jazz, to improvisation
The idea for this show was decided upon by all members of The Dance Eclectic. The members of The Dance Eclectic began the creative process of this show by reflecting on the last show that was centered on mental illness as well as the overall feeling of the world. They decided that they needed a fun show that was light-hearted. They also have missed being able to share the stage with other talented dancers in the area. This theme also allows for complete creativity with all of their dance styles.
This show has been collaboratively created and choreographed by the The Dance Eclectic members. Guest artists include FireFox Productions, Mindy Chanson, and Human Nature Contemporary Ballet.. We are also excited to present our show with these talented dancers.

About The Dance Eclectic
“The Dance Eclectic has gone all out for this show! We are so excited to present the costumes and dances for this show!. I am continually amazed at these ladies and their creative process,” Creative Director Morgan Rivera says about the collective. “This show epitomizes what the collective is and how it operates. Each member has been able to help with making this show happen, from making costumes to cutting music to deciding on the overall feel the show should have.”
The Dance Eclectic seeks to provide opportunities for dancers of all skill levels, backgrounds, and abilities, as well as individuals who are simply creative and want an outlet to dance and work collaboratively with others with similar passions. They are primarily focused on crafting a single creative theatrical production once a year that explores a theme or narrative that the members collectively agree on. These productions are highly collaborative in nature, with every member having a voice in their creation, by contributing original choreography, costuming, and more. They also work to create a larger show, Fringe Dance Festival, once a year to showcase dance in the borderland area. Ages and skill levels of the dancers in the collective vary greatly, with members in their teens, twenties, and thirties, and members who have been dancing since the age of 3, with college degrees in dance, to members who found their passion for dance as recently as 3 years ago.
