Special Interests Editorial Review
Dancing in the Light: Six Dance Compositions By African American Choreographers is a wonderful collection of short dances that showcase the high degree of creativity and skillful performances by African American choreographers. While the DVD is only 57 minutes long, it leaves one longing for more of such representations of high order of arts. The video is beautifully filmed and performed. It is a delight to have the chance to see some of these early works by pioneers in dance. However, the current price of this Kultur disc is quite high, and therefore, it is recommended to seek a used one in good condition to save some money. Despite the hefty price, the video production has been hailed by delighted customers and recommended for use in the classroom.
