Philadanco The Philadelphia Dance Company Tuesday & Wednesday, February 16 & 17 Sixteen dancers whose batteries never run low and whose considerable skills are forged from ballet, jazz, street moves and West African dance. —Los Angeles Times For nearly 30 years this predominantly African American company has kept Philadelphia on the short list of major American dance centers with its dancers’ strength and versatility. They perform the work of Black choreographers with joy, power and conviction, from Katherine Dunham’s historic moves to Talley Beatty’s affecting, jazzy work and the post-modern drive of Donald Byrd. General public: $16/$19/$22 Students: $12/$15/$18 Co-sponsored by The Santa Barbara Independent
