Some are a ham for the theatre (like me!), but others shy away from the performance arts because they aren’t sure what to expect – or don’t want to spend beaucoup bucks on a show they aren’t sure to like. Wouldn’t it be great if you could pay for just a portion, a tasting if you will, to see if it speaks to you before going whole hog?!
Welcome to the stage, VelocityDC! Unlike any other dance festival, the Washington Performing Arts Society created VelocityDC to introduce those unfamiliar with modern dance, African, ballet, hip-hop – and everything in between – to DC’s best performance companies.
On October 2nd & 3rd at Sidney Harmon Hall (610 F Street NW) just $15 allows you to sample six varieties of artistry in action. Participating companies and artists include: Ron K. Brown & Evidence, the Washington Ballet, City Dance Ensemble, EDGEWORKS Dance Theatre, Gesel Mason, Nejla Yatkin, Edwin Aparicio, Liz Lerman Dance Exchange… and even more taking part in VelocityDC Late Night!
That $15 gets you an experience to remember and reflect upon, as well as talking points for great future cocktail conversation! In fact, stay afterward at the bar to swap impressions, meet some of the dancers, and ask them in person what you want to talk about!
