At Magoun Plaza (532 Medford St. Somerville, MA)
Sun, June 16
@ 8:30 pm
SAC's Dancing in the Streets is a series of outdoor dance performances—in plazas, parks and basketball courts for May & June!
Dating back to our SomervilleStruts dance showcase in 2004, we've always thought the region should know about our city's amazing dance community. Rather than showcasing these talented local dance troupes in a traditional venue, we invited them to choose outdoor locations. And so, this spring and early summer, expect to see dancing spilling onto the streets.
Allegro Dance Collaborative was formed in Fall 2011 by six Brandeis University alumni living and working in the Boston area. Originally conceived as an outlet to enable each of us to dance on the weekends, Allegro Dance Collective has grown into an opportunity to create dance projects to supplement our professional work in other fields. Since its inception, Allegro Dance Collective has choreographed two original productions, including La Bella Pietra, performed at the Rose Art Museum during the 2012 Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts (a project made possible by a generous grant from the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts), as well as "En Route," being performed this summer at SomDance (a performance made possible by the City of Somerville and Boston Dance Alliance).
Allegro Dance Collaborative dancers include: Courtney Choate, Julie Judson, Anna Kharaz, Sari Ladin, Beth Moguel, Carina Platner, Ariella Silverstein-Tapp, and Greg Storella.

Renowned for her physically and visually innovative choreography, Anna Myer and Dancers celebrate 20 years of outstanding dance performance. Her current work, Hoop Suite, is a heart-pounding inner-city rap-opera that features inner-city teen artists from the North American Family Institute’s Youth Link and combines hip-hop, modern dance, violins, cellos and basketballs. The piece encourages inner-city teen artists to explore dance, drumming, poetry and behind the scenes technical work in a professional setting. Hoop Suite debuted last summer on basketball courts turned into theaters-in-the-round in Roxbury and Dorchester. It is set to music composed by prominent composer Jakov Jakoulov. The company will also perform Hindsight Now, an emotionally charged work about transformation. Nine dancers perform to music composed by noted composer Igor Tkachenko set on violins and four cellists.

For SomDance, the two choreographers will present their individual pieces first; then the two troupes will fuse the two different pieces into one performance. Finally the two troupes will perform a few short works afterwards.
