The performance features Dance Theatre of Harlem’s Company Artists and students from its School, and conceived by Artistic Director Robert Garland and School Director Tai Jimenez, this lively production set to music from R&B to folk, with costumes by Katy Freeman, is a heartwarming spring treat for audiences of all ages.
