Dancing with Sculpture: Music & Motion Dance at the Grounds For Sculpture
Music & Motion Dance Productions will be performing selected excerpts from their new dance work "To A Different Beat" at the Grounds For Sculpture, 18 Fairgrounds Road in Hamilton, New Jersey on Sunday, August 6th from 12:00 - 3:00 p.m.
(PRWEB) August 3, 2006 -- Set to premiere at the Philly Fringe & Live Arts Festival 2006 in September, visitors to the Grounds For Sculpture will have a chance to preview the new dance work, “To A Different Beat” by Music & Motion.
Known for visually arresting creations, this contemporary youth company returns to Grounds for sculpture for a second year, exploring 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.
On Sunday, August 6th from 12:00 - 3:00 p.m., Music & Motion will be offering selected excepts at various locations throughout the 35-acre sculpture park, located at 18 Fairgrounds Road, Hamilton, NJ. The performance is free to the public with admission to the grounds, which is $12.00 per person.
Dance pieces have been carefully chosen to specifically blend in with both the contemporary sculptures offered and the beautifully landscaped grounds. This strolling program will offer guests a unique mixture of sounds, colors and textures and movement… a “live theater” in which the set is continually changing and challenging the senses.
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 fifteen thru nineteen, who have expressed an interest in pursuing dance and the performing arts.

The collaborative efforts of the entire company create a synergy rich in imagination, celebration and spirit.
