What we do:
POWERHOUSE!!!, a diverse group of “percussive dance” performers, combines brilliantly innovative tap, precision clogging and explosive stomp into an electrifying dance experience. The show is a complete stage experience that includes technically astounding choreography and infuses it with a wild sense of fun and color! The result is an inspiring, entertaining treat that draws all ages and audience types into tapping clapping and feeling the POWER that is POWERHOUSE!!!
In addition to being placed on the school assembly program rosters by the Segerstrom Center For the Arts “OC ARTS TEACH & Get Arts Smart, & Children's Creative Project, we have also appeared on my TV programs than any other percussive dance group in the country, including America's Got Talent, Tengo Talento, & the Gong Show (winners) on ABC.
Education Program Specifics:
VAPA standards based with cross curricular connections, audiences get to see and explore various styles of folk dance (Irish step, tap, precision clogging and STOMP!) and where those folk styles originated before finally seeing them all combined in a uniquely American style called “percussive dance.” Additionally, they are left with a solid understanding of the musicality of this style of dance, specifically of percussion, rhythm, and tempo.
Current arts ed partnerships with All The Arts For All The Kids, Chirldrens' Creative Project, San Diego Unified School District, and Segerstrom Center for the Artts ARTS TEACH program.
