Merseyside Dance Initiative (MDI) and the Merseyside Dance Promoters Network (MDPN) are delighted to announce that the world renowned Joel Hall Dancers, last seen in Liverpool over 20 years ago, will play their only European date of 2010 at the Floral Pavilion, New Brighton on Tue 7 & Wed 8 September.

The Joel Hall Dancers are celebrated for their joyous blend of jazz, ballet, modern and “street” dance techniques. In their thirty six-year history as a professional Chicago-based dance ensemble, the company have performed all over the world, presenting works by Joel Hall and many nationally and internationally recognized choreographers, achieving a noted reputation as a quintessential American Contemporary Urban Jazz Ballet Company: sophisticated yet accessible.

During the past three decades, Joel Hall has achieved an international reputation for his dance company along with acclaim as a choreographer having created his own innovative Chicago urban jazz style of movement.
Mr. Hall’s unique dance style expresses a rich vocabulary of movement embracing both classical and modern styles.

Joel Hall is the recipient of numerous awards and honours including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Jazz Dance World Congress, a Katherine Dunham Award, a Lifetime Service Award from the Chicago Dance and Music Alliance, the African American Arts Black Excellence Award for Outstanding Achievement for his choreography for ‘In The Shadow of Nina Simone’.
This world class performance will feature some of Joel Hall’s most exciting and memorable choreography including breathtaking pieces such as the award winning ‘In the Shadow of Nina Simone,’ a tribute to the legendary performer and songwriter who was Nina Simone and ‘El Gato Negro’ featuring a house mix of music by artists such as CeCe Penniston, Zig Zag, Nightmares on Wax and Black Sheep.
