Landmarks has reached out to our friends at Public Displays of Motion, a dance company that has collaborated frequently with us to bring dance to the Hatch Shell and our Landmarks Orchestra concerts over many summers.
PDM, along with members of Decent Dance, the Free Form Dance Academy and The Dance Complex, will join us for our concert on July 30th. The dancers will meet any and all of you during the intermission concert at the foot of the stage to say hello and practice some simple dance moves for the Britten piece that the orchestra will play right after intermission, so we can all dance together.
These fun videos show some ways they are offering to help any and all who feel the urge to dance, especially during the orchestra’s playing of the Benjamin Britten piece that opens the 2nd half of the concert!
