Description:

The American Dance Festival presents Dancing in the Light, a one-hour modern dance television program showcasing 6 historic dance compositions by African American choreographers. All of the dances were originally recorded for the Emmy Award-winning series Free to Dance, a three-hour documentary that aired on PBS in 2001 as part of the Great Performances: Dance in America series. While Free to Dance uses select excerpts from the dances to inform its narrative within a historical context, Dancing in the Light features six dances in their entirety or in the case of one work, a complete section.

5metaphorApr 04, 2011
By nbrown
The video has great selections of dance from earlier and contempoarary modern dance. Great soundtrack. The choreographers tell the story of lynches, chain gangs, lonliness, and mourning. The dancers are amazing. I bought this product to use in my classroom. This video gives students an opportunity to see dance that they could not see live. This video clearly illustrates that dance can tell a story that resonates with issues people struggled with historically as well as present day issues such as AIDS. Many students think dance is abstract or about fantasy life with princes and princesses and dreams of nutcrackers coming to life. Now, they know better. There is a lot of material here to make connections to social studies, literature, writing, drama and music standards for enhancing lesson plans. Highly recommend!!!
