February 18, 2005 Idaho Dance Theater Presents 'SuperDancers' March 2

The world of cartoon superheroes comes to life on the stage during Idaho Dance Theatre’s dazzling dance performance of Super-Dancers at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 12, at the BSU Special Events Center. This special public presentation of IDT’s Educational Outreach Program is designed to bring the excitement, athleticism and pure fun of dance to elementary school age children and their families. The audience will take an imaginative journey with dancing superheroes as they begin their search for a monster that has been roaming nearby. The plot thickens as the dancers begin to worry about what they will do if  they actually catch up with the monster. This leads to a decision to develop some very special dancing superpowers in order to overcome their fears and successfully confront the monster. The talented troupe of dancers then learns how to utilize turning, leaping and balancing, along with speed, strength and coordination, to ensure all ends well. A vibrant blend of hip-hop, ballet, tap and contemporary dance is used throughout the performance to provide a spellbinding experience for audience members.
