From the same city that birthed Rennie Harris Puremovement, Philadanco, and Koresh Dance Company comes Eleone Dance Theatre: an exhilarating and soul-stirring dance company presenting works that are multicultural, intergenerational, socially and visually appealing to all audiences. The company has a diverse repertoire of works that are contemporary, spiritual, rhythm and blues, African, as well as hip-hop in theme.

For its February 5 performance, Eleone Dance Theatre presents works as part of its theme, “Peace, Love, and Dancing with Soul”, to include among others: Yesterday… Today… Tomorrow…, a riveting work based on the student-led protest against Apartheid in South Africa; For Always and For Ever Luther-The Suite, a tribute to the late Luther Vandross, the multi-platinum, eight-time Grammy Award winner; Hear, See and Speak No Evil, a work performed in celebration of the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, HIV/AIDS, 911, and other events that have forever reshaped our lives; and We Give Thanks, an Eleone Dance Theatre signature work choreographed by Artistic Director Shawn-Lamere Williams, a previous artistic director with Philadanco II.

Eleone’s dancers energize audiences through their exceptional artistry and profound sense of spirituality while Eleone's dance works inspire audiences to look at historical and contemporary issues from a variety of viewpoints.
