Our friends at The Heritage Center, the University of Dubuque’s performing arts and campus center, presents the Emmy Award-winning dance troop Jump Rhythm Jazz Project on Saturday, February 13 at 7:30 p.m.
Jump Rhythm Jazz Project celebrates the communal core of jazz performance — dancing, singing, and storytelling in rhythmically syncopated conversations to the beat-driven sounds of the blues, swinging jazz, funk, hip hop, and world music. The New York Times, says JRJP “captures the exuberant physicality of good dancers when moments of extreme control and abandon are seamlessly combined.”
The performance will be preceded by a free pre-show lecture in Babka Theatre from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. during which a member of JRJP will share background information on the dance company and the evening’s performance.
Tickets for Jump Rhythm Jazz Project can be purchased now at the Farber Box Office on the University of Dubuque campus; by phone at 563-585-SHOW; or at www.dbq.edu/heritagecenter.
