Hiplet Ballerinas: ACT II

Act II: The Arrival, The Revolution

“Missing You” 

Choreography by Nina Rose Wardanian
Music by Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, and Angie Stone

“Missing You” is a departure from typical Hiplet, featuring Contemporary choreography with a more mature approach. Chronicling the ebbs and flows of women as they navigate personal relationships, “Missing You” is an emotional journey of love, loss, and sisterhood.

 

Film: “Because Of Them We Can” 

A short film by Nia Cooper set to the Maya Angelou poem, “Phenomenal Women”

A tribute to African American women dancers who came before Hiplet and performed through obstacles, paving the way for today’s dancers to express themselves freely. 

 

“Motown Revue”

Choreographer: Tanji Harper
Music: A medley of Motown classics

Let’s take a trip down memory lane as we explore the iconic sounds of Motown. From the Temptations to Diana Ross, we have it all. Not only is this piece about the music it’s about capturing the essence of the time. This is a fun piece that will leave you with a smile and make you want to do the hustle and a little two step.
