Dancing Wheels Company presents "Legendary Ladies of Jazz!"

A plethora of music, song, and dance will bring to the stage the passion and dynamic work of women of color who revolutionized the 1920’s- 1950’s jazz era changing the tenor and tone of the genre and paving the way for female vocal and musical artists throughout history.

To honor the Legendary Ladies of Jazz, The Dancing Wheels Company will join female choreographers Catherine Meredith, Staycee Pearl, and Laura Ann Smyth to tell the dynamic stories of historical women vocalists and musicians in jazz. A special guest appearance by the School of Dancing Wheels Performance Ensemble will be sure to delight everyone!
