Debra Weiss Dance Company To Perform At Helen Hayes Hospital
January 16, 2007The Helen Hayes Hospital Performing Arts Series is pleased to present the Debra Weiss Dance Company’s new show, Let’s Dance, on Saturday February 10 at 2:00 p.m. in the atrium of the physical rehabilitation hospital in West Haverstraw. The event is free of charge and open to the public.
The group will dance to live drumming and Native American flute. Audience members will be invited to play percussion instruments and dance in the finale. The beautiful costumes, streamers, dance and music will transport viewers to another time and place.
Let’s Dance is offered in the spirit of a community drum circle and dance. Traditionally, drum circles have brought people together to create harmonious, joyful rhythms. The energy of the drum circle is healing, unifying, and energizing.
