Young Dancers Of Mather Dance Company In Searching For The Next Roxie Hart

11/06/2014 Clyde F. Smith Theater

“Searching for the next Roxie Hart by: Shannon Mather”

Beautifully shot video of young women who are serious competitive dancers from the Mather Dance Company‘s Junior Large Group.

As I slowly sort out what’s happening with the competitive dance scene I’ve been surprised at the generally low quality videos from competitions featuring dancers who are already becoming stars.

This is a great example of high production values with a bit of showbiz context for a skilled group of dancers choreographed by Shannon Mather.
