Shut Up and Dance

Odyssey’s Spring Repertory Season is a dance lover’s buffet, with something for everyone. Deseret News said, “Odyssey Dance Theatre’s Shut Up and Dance season only proves that it is a company to be taken seriously. Bravo!”

This season’s program will include the following:

Act I  New Repertory Works

• World Premiere Contemporary Work – Former Odyssey Dancer Christian Denice
• World Premiere Hip-Hop Work – Former Odyssey Dancer Jeffrey Louizia
• World Premiere Piece Chichester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein – Derryl Yeager

Act II  The Can Can Club (originally called Moulin Rouge)

• Premiered in 2007 and back by popular demand, The Can Can Club captures the spectacle that drew the elite in Paris in the 1890’s and spawned the likes of Toulouse Lautrec and the infamous Can Can. Reveling in the bohemian ideals of Truth, Beauty, Freedom and most of all Love, it captures the imagination, dazzles the senses, and touches the heart. Derryl said, “I thought it would be a popular piece, because it has everything: excitement, love, humor, tragedy, the wonderful movie score and of course, fantastic dancing.”
• The New York Times said, “Odyssey Dance Theatre breaks out! Moulin Rouge was a lot of fun!” Deseret Morning News said, “Add another winner to the Odyssey Repertoire!…Fast paced and spectacular!”
