The Mystery of the Seahorse

Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre and the students of The New Studio of Dance present The Mystery of the Seahorse, a thrilling tale of love and bravery. Set in an endangered underwater reef with cartoon-type characters, this story explores the themes of ecology and pollution. A vibrant and colorful performance, The Mystery of the Seahorse will not only be entertaining and beautiful, but will also teach the lesson of why we need to keep our oceans clean.

Giles Collards giant puppet head creations and colorful sets compliment the inventive and original choreography of Susan Collard, the staff of New Studio of Dance and even some of the students themselves. Audiences are in for a treat as they are transported underwater for this lively and entertaining full-length dance theater spectacular.

The New Studio of Dance was established in 1970 and offers a comprehensive and wide-ranging dance education to young students of the community. Not only are there the usual classes in ballet, tap, and modern; but there are also classes in composition, swing, belly dance, and more. As the students become older and more experienced, they help to design their own dance program and are given a lot of creative freedom to discover who they are as dance artists.

Dont miss The Mystery of the Seahorse for a colorful, underwater treat. With two weeks of performances, this show will be a great way for children of all ages to spring into summer!
