Dear Educators:
My name is Amy Buchanan, and I work with Tanner Dance at the University of Utah. I would love to tell you about an amazing event we are providing to the students of your school. On behalf of the Children’s Dance Theater, we would love to extend an invitation to attend the University of Utah Children’s Dance Theater summer performance at Weber State University. We are offering two free matineperformances scheduled for Friday, September 27 at 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. This is a unique opportunity for your students to see an elaborate production that is filled with captivating movement, an inspiring story line, original music, and beautiful costuming.
This year the Children’s Dance Theater is celebrating its 70th anniversary with the production of The Dancing Man! The Dancing Man, is a moving portrayal of a creative life from beginning to end. In a poor village by the Baltic Sea, an orphan boy named Joseph receives a pair of silver shoes, and with them the courage to follow a secret dream. Over the years, Joseph dances his way down the road to the southernmost sea, dancing hope and delight into the lives of those who need it most, until at last it is time to pass the silver shoes — and the dancing man’s destiny — to another child. First staged by the Children’s Dance Theater in 1986, The Dancing Man pays eloquent tribute to the lifelong pursuit of a dream and the joy of dance.
This performance runs 1 hour and 15 minutes from beginning to end. There will be no intermission. Also the facility is ADA compatible with excellent seating options available.
In addition to our invitation, should you choose to participate, we would also love to offer a teacher workshop for your teachers to prepare their students for the upcoming performance. If you are interested in this educational component, we would be happy to send materials and more information about the workshop to be held in your area.
If you would like to reserve seats to any of the performance times listed above, please email Amy Buchanan amy.buchanan@utah.edu with the following information below. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact me or visit our website at https://tannerdance.utah.edu/performances
