The Henderson Area Arts Alliance has planned various activities for the upcoming Dance Kaleidoscope show. The show is scheduled for Friday, March 24 at 7:00 p.m. at the Preston Arts Center.
The special performance, titled Voices of a Generation, features dancers from Indiana’s longest dancing, professional contemporary dance company, Dance Kaleidoscope performing to music from the 1960s. Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Carole King, Stephen Stills, Joni Mitchell, and the Byrds are just a few of the artists that are highlighted in this fun, free-spirited show. The athletic and emotionally-charged dances characterize the youthful disillusionment and eventual rebellion of a generation.
