Here's a wonderful production taking the stage in Huntington on Nov. 17 - and the most amazing thing is, it's all free!
Here are the details from my pals Donna and Stewart Duke:
The West Virginia Dance Company (WVDC), West Virginia's only truly professional dance company is performing at Huntington High School on Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. These dancers are all college graduates, several with their Masters.
The performance is totally free! The performance, "A Coal History," is presented by the National Coal Heritage Area Authority.
The dance is made possible by grants from the Coal Heritage Association and the West Virginia Division of Culture and History. We chose Huntington because so many of our friends have heard us sing the praises of WVDC and this will be a gift for everyone who sees it.
The Company performs for over 50,000 school students in the state and surrounding area, mostly in rural and low income schools. There are many college and university shows as well as public performances like this one. The school shows are very different from the public shows. School shows are based on West Virginia educational standards and bring learning to schools in a new and engaging way.
The WVDC is a non-profit organization so we need as much support as possible. The dancers and choreographer are all salaried.
