To A Different Beat
Known for visually arresting creations, this contemporary youth company explores a cultural fusion of expressive rhythm and dance set to modern global music. Blending individual
creativity, these dancers entice with their own rhythms of the heart, intense imagery, boldness and pure energy.
For the cast of Music & Motion Dance, this has been their most ambitious project to date. The company toured with this new dance work in Canada during the Summer and then had a most
successful premiere here in the states at the Philadelphia Fringe & Live Arts Festival. High-energy world beats and sizzling rhythms 's8220;make the dances more challenging and
complex to choreograph's8221; according to senior dancer, Noelle Tolbert. But she adds, 's8220;they also just make you want to get up and move, stomp, dance and just enjoy this
ethno-fusion and celebration of what is a part of all of us.'s8221;
Music & Motion Dance Productions is a non-profit corporation, which is both owned and operated by teens with mentoring from outside corporations and individuals. It is a group of
pre-professional dancers ages fourteen thru nineteen, who have expressed an interest in pursuing dance and the performing arts. Under the artistic direction of Steven Weisz, this
group's8217;s mission has been to empower young people through dance and creative collaboration in the performing arts, building self-esteem and inspiring self expression and community
action. To that end, Music & Motion performs locally and in surrounding communities throughout the year, as well as performances in a fully professional atmosphere presented for
corporations, museums, gardens, and live arts related venues.
International Day: Celebrating The Many Cultures of Bucks County
International Day Celebration is a one day festival which celebrates the rich cultural diversity in the region. The focus of International Day is on education, providing an opportunity to
showcase the heritages of those who make up our communities. The Children'ss Cultural Center, www.childrensculturalcenter.org, has
been the coordinating organization of this gala festival since 2000. International Day features fun for the whole family through multi-cultural entertainment, exhibits, games, events and
refreshments, and includes the annual bocce ball tournament and the art contest. Each year the festival has grown in attendance and awareness because International Day places the
spotlight on the cultural heritage of families throughout the Delaware Valley. Recognizing that most of us can trace our family roots to foreign lands, International Day features cultural
aspects of this rich heritage.
