Dance Repertory Company to perform April 23-24

The Dance Repertory Company will perform Friday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 24, at 3 p.m. in honor of Benny Goodman’s recent 100th birthday celebration.

This year’s concert, which will be held in Page Theatre, will feature The Goodman Suite, members of which are all full of youthful, spirited and promising talent. The Dance Repertory Company will present contemporary ballet, tap, jazz and modern dance all set to the swingin’ music of Benny Goodman.

The Goodman Suite, debuted by the DRC in the Spring of 2000, features works to Goodman’s “Bugle Call,” “Christopher Columbus” and “Sing, Sing, Sing.” This year’s concert will present these restaged works as well as feature new choreography by the company’s artistic staff.

Tickets are $10, $5 for students and seniors and are available at the SMU Box Office, Ext. 1715, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday or online at www.pagetheatre.org.
