SPIRIT LIGHT DANCE COMPANY PRESENTS 

 -:¦:-

10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW

OCTOBER 4TH, 11TH & 18TH, 2020

12 PM (NOON) SLT

"I can’t believe it!!  Maybe you can’t either!  But the Spirit Light Dance Company (SLDC) is now ten years old!  In another few years, it can qualify for a driver’s license!  What were you doing ten years ago in SL (OK, you don’t have to fess up)?  

In honor of its tenth anniversary, SLDC will present a dance retrospective—a greatest hits event, if you will—from selected shows over the years.  The performances will be on October 4, 11, and 18.  Expect to be regaled by dances from classical ballet, Spanish tempos, modern explorations, jazz rhythms, contemporary beats, country music, and of course, everybody’s favorite, Bollywood!!  

Why is SLDC still around?  It’s because of a decade of constant study and innovation by SLDC members on how best to unlock the secrets of blending next-generation technology with classic choreography.  Where in the physical world can we so effortlessly perform a dance ensemble in thin air without resorting to imagination (or lots of cables)?  Where can dancers swim with the fishes . . . and breathe with the fishes?  Where can gravity-defying and breathtakingly colorful sets be erected with the click of a switch?   Over the last decade, SLDC has invited us to be guests on voyages through lands in which only the imagination roams.  

Why is SLDC still around?  It’s because of the people!  Innovation doesn’t happen without innovators.  Vision doesn’t appear without visionaries.  And building doesn’t get done without builders.  But of primary importance, SLDC is a community—even a family of sorts—in which all members are encouraged to participate and to share in each other’s gifts.  Their artistry is spawned from a collection of individual efforts.  

And then there is Caryl, the founder and current Director of SLDC.  Her real-life choreographic experience, her creativity, her energy, and her relentless pursuit of artistic perfection have produced the spark that has kept the company moving.  She is already planning (probably in her usual meticulous detail) the next ten years.  

So please come and join us for this special event!  Bring your tapping toes, your sense of wonderment, and for many of you, your memories of what has been at SLDC, and your anticipation of what lies ahead.  Remember, at Rockcliffe University auditorium, 12:00 noon SLT, on October 4, 11, and 18.

See you there!"

Happy 244th!

Happy 244^th birthday, U.S.A!

Your country is so much more than the present president and the vile sycophantic trumpanzees. This too shall pass and you will recover. I still believe that, and so should you!

You were given a Republic, now work to keep it! Vote in November!



This Land Is Your Land
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway;
I saw below me that golden valley;
This land was made for you and me.

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.

I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me, a voice was sounding;
This land was made for you and me.

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.

In the squares of the city, by the shadow of the steeple;

By the relief office, I saw my people;

As they stood there hungry, I stood there whispering;

This land was made for you and me.

A great high wall there that tried to stop me; 
A great big sign there said "Private Property"
But on the other side, it didn't say nothing;
That sign was made for you and me.

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.

Nobody living can ever stop me, 
As I go walking on Freedom Highway
Nobody living can make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.
