THE ATLANTA DANCE COMMUNITY IS ON FIRE

The choreographers of "LIFT"

Project 7 - SHE "Promise"

Can we say what a weekend! The city of Atlanta was on fire with dance events all weekend long. From dance performances to master classes, the dance community was creating a buzz all over the city and of course ATL Dance Source had to be a part of the festivities.

On Saturday afternoon, we attended Daryl Foster's presentation of "LIFT" at The Woodruff Arts Center-Hertz Stage. The performance was absolutely phenomenal! 10 of Atlanta's hottest choreographers wowed the audience with their diverse conversations of spirituality and compelled untouched feelings through inspiring movements. Bravo to Darly Foster, Codie Wiggins, D-Ray Colson, Xavier Durman, Corian Ellisor, Bubba Carr, Monica "Mo" Noble, Stephan Reynolds, Gary Beauford and all the amazing dancers. The performance touched lives and introduced an on going movement of creative growth through spiritual expression. Bravo!

On Saturday evening, we headed over to Project 7's presentation of "SHE" at the Balzer Theater. And with no surprise, the show was outstanding! Full of athleticism and grace, "SHE" (Seek.Hope.Evolve) focused on women's progression in fields of dance and in life. Cherrise Wakeham, 11 members of Project 7, and Renee Locher took the audience on a thrill ride. Each piece took you on a chain of emotions as it explored life's ups and downs through the journey of success. Let's just say, the ride was absolutely riveting as the props and lighting created movie stills through out each piece. Bravo to the members of Project 7 and Renee Locher! Nevertheless, a huge bravo to Cherrise Wakeham for being a great leader in the Atlanta dance community and for inspiring women everywhere to keep chasing your dream through life's unscripted journey.

We were truly inspired this weekend! We look forward to the continued growth in the Atlanta dance community!
