Chicago dance troupe at WYO Theater

Deeply Rooted Dance Company will perform on Wednesday, February 27, 7:30 p.m. at the WYO Theater in Sheridan. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors and military, $10 for students, and $8 for kids.

Here's a review of the group from the Chicago Sun-Times:

Deeply Rooted Dance Theater embodies the rich traditions of African-American dance theater and music. Performing the work of nationally renowned choreographers, DRDT presents innovative and inspiring expressions of contemporary life. This critically acclaimed ensemble offers work that entertains and ignites emotional responses from diverse audiences.

This Chicago-based company moves in a way that goes way beyond sheer artistry . . . they clearly are propelled by matters both social and spiritual. So when they dance they bring added intensity and meaning to the work.
