Dunham's 100th: I love a parade!

The late Katherine Dunham’s 100th birthday (June 21) is fine occasion for a celebratory parade. So, plan to be at West 79th Street Boat Basin (Central Park) at 10am, or somewhere along the parade route towards Symphony Space (Broadway at 95th Street).

At noon, the theater will host an outdoor program with drummers, dancers, dignitaries and the release of 100 doves and, at 7pm, a full concert with eight dance troupes. Admission to the evening show is free on a first-come, first-served basis.

Invited guests include original Dunham Dancers, Alpha Omega Dance Company, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Charles Moore DanceTheatre, Fred Benjamin Dance Company, Joan Peters Dance Company, Katherine Dunham Children’s Dance Workshop, Louis Johnson Dance Theatre, PHILADANCO and Dr. Glory Van Scott’s Youth Theatre.

Parade participants and volunteers are requested. For further information, contact Melony McGant at (212) 712-6559 or drgloryvanscottproductions@yahoo.com.
