Celebrating Joan Myers Brown and James Brown – Pioneers in Dance and Music. This performance will include two incredible experiences. Philadanco will honor Joan Myers Brown's phenomenal contribution to contemporary African-American dance by performing the company's signature work "Enemy Behind the Gates," by the exquisite dance maker and former Ailey dancer Christopher Huggins.

The program includes a selection of dances from the Apollo Theater's 2013 production honoring the "king of funk" James Brown.

It is fun, it is funky, and when the tunes get rolling, we dare you to stay in your seat. Includes remixes of hits "Think (About It)," "Get on the Good Foot," and "Down and Out in New York City." Choreography by Ronald K. Brown, Thang Dao, and Abdel Salaam.
