Returning to Millennium Park following a wildly successful 2022 engagement, the Chicago Black Dance Legacy Project presents ten dynamic companies in a concert exploring the divine, mystical and spiritual ways our ancestors communicate and celebrate with us. Featuring dance genres from Chicago Footwork to Hip Hop mixed with Ballet (aka Hiplet), to jazz and contemporary dance, this concert promises to stir every soul.
The concert will begin with a DJ set by Duane Powell and continue with meaningful and vibrant works by the CBDLP’s current cohort, including The Chicago Multicultural Dance Company, Deeply Rooted Dance Theater, The Era Footwork Collective, Forward Momentum Chicago, Joel Hall Dancers & Center, M.A.D.D. Rhythms, Move Me Soul, Muntu Dance Theatre, NAJWA Dance Corps, and Praize Productions Inc.
The CBDLP is a project of the Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago. This concert is a part of DCASE’s Millennium Park Residency Program, which provides funding to create free dynamic programming as part of Millennium Park’s milestone 20th Anniversary Summer Season.
