Celebrate Black History Month with the sizzling energy of Philadanco. Fusing ballet, modern, jazz, and ethnic dance, the company performs works by today’s most exalted African-American choreographers. Their State Theatre program pays tribute to iconic heroes and movements of the past century: Rosa Parks (set to the music of Aretha Franklin), Otis Redding, and 1970s funk music. “The members

of...Philadanco can do just about anything: leap like arrows in flight, spin, stretch, kick,

and melt like hot wax.” —Washington Post
