PERFORMANCE
Our much anticipated annual showcase is a
cross section of Los Angeles dance and choreography. Tied together in an original way, the
eclectic collection of dance features leading Los Angeles choreographers including the
EDGE teachers and special guest artists. Past productions have included dances by Tina
Landon, Adam Shankman, Keith Young, Dorian Sanchez and Bubba Carr. The 50-plus performers
are professional dancers, many of whom are EDGE alumni and twenty who are graduating from
the EDGE scholarship program. For both the choreographers and dancers the showcase gives
them the chance to stretch out.
The 2 hour performance runs for two weeks in July or in
the beginning of August and will play to sold out houses. The dance community, patrons,
friends and families of the performers will attend the shows and all of the dance agencies
will scout the performances for new talent. It's one part concert, one part showcase, one part graduation and a whole
lot of dancing.
EDGE and the EDGE scholarship's have performed on or for
the Womans Foreign Press Association's, Golden Apple Awards with Donald
OConnor, Perfect Strangers, Hard Copy, commercials for the the 1997 CBS line-up and
Grammy awards, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Fame L.A. (pilot), industrials for Nokia and
Arrow Computers and the half-time show for the Sparks, WNBA. Other works include a 15
minute tribute to MGM movie musicals that was commissioned by MGM for the NCA Salute in
their honor that was attended by many MGM stars and the Hollywood elite.
