The CommonWealth Dance CollectiveDisplaying various styles of traditional percussive dance, from Appalachian clogging to English waltzes, a trip back in time to the Vaudeville era, and a little visit north of the border into Canada for Ottawa Valley stepping. Immediately following will be an “advanced beginner” workshop, for those who have the basics of percussive dancing and are ready to move on! Closed-toe shoes recommended for workshop participants - well worn tennies or anything with a leather sole is great! (Beginners Workshop: Saturday 11:00 am-noon) Founded by Sheila Graziano in 2004, The CommonWealth Dance Collective (CDC) is an ensemble of stepdancers based in southeast Michigan. The CDC performs myriad percussive dance styles, including Appalachian clogging, English, Canadian, American tap, Celtic, and more! Highlighting both historic and original choreography, the members of the CDC delight in capturing the spirits of the past and the present with equal enthusiasm, and sharing the joy of many cultures through dance. Performing and teaching both hold equally high value for the members of the ensemble.
