This is a picture of the stage. The show I went to earlier this week was Hip Hop Dance Ambassadors. It is a program supported by none other than the State Dept and the Cultural Affairs offices in country. These are my new colleagues working on such wonderful outreach opportunities.
This performance featured dancers from Bolivia, Burma, Pakistan, India, Turkey, Zimbabwe, Uganda, and Ecuador. They were all very good and what a great opportunity for them to come to the US and have a chance to meet their peers from different countries. The thread throughout all their comments was that hip hop and dance is a universal language.
And it is all FREE, just like so many of the museums here. I only wish other cities had the budget to offer the arts to people. It should be accessible to everyone.
