HOME takes young audiences on a journey around the world to explore the concept of home. Through a combination of colorful costumes, lively music, and participation, children are transported to different countries and cultures, gaining a deeper understanding of what home means to people from diverse backgrounds and giving them time to reflect on what home means to them.
The show features dances from Sweden, India, Burkina Faso West Africa, and the USA, showcasing the rich traditions and unique movements of each culture. From the energetic rhythms of Colombia to the graceful movements of India, the children were captivated by the variety of styles and expressions on display and delighted to try the movements on their own bodies.
One of the highlights of the performance is the opportunity for audience participation, allowing children to join in the fun and learn some basic dance steps themselves. This interactive element not only keeps kids engaged but also encourages them to appreciate the art form of dance and its ability to bring people together.
HOME is not just a dance performance – it is a celebration of diversity, unity, and the universal desire for belonging. By exposing children to different cultures and perspectives, the show promotes empathy, understanding, and a sense of global citizenship.
As part of our neighborhood school series, HOME is offered free of charge to schools in the community, making it accessible to all students regardless of their background or financial circumstances. Dance Entropy is committed to providing high-quality arts experiences for young audiences, and HOME is a shining example of our dedication to promoting cultural exchange and artistic expression.
Let's celebrate the beauty of diversity and the power of dance to connect us all, no matter where we call home.
