AboutFace
As the new adult professional ensemble of Decatur City Dance, AboutFace made its debut on October 1 and 2, 2010 presenting two shows in the Uhry Theatre at Druid Hills High School. Rave reviews are still coming in!
Under the direction of Timothy Meyers and Toya Willingham, About Face delights audiences with original, contemporary jazz choreography, leading them through journeys of emotion, evoking the passions of relationship struggles, self-discovery, and masculine and feminine aspects of life through dynamic dances that are athletic and explosive, soothing and light.
Ranging in age from 19 to 40, AboutFace dancers are trained and experienced professionals who believe their unique and compelling interpretations of the human experience through contemporary jazz choreography will kindle a wider fascination and enthusiasm for dance in the community. Toya Willingham of AboutFace grew up training at Decatur School of Ballet and performing with Decatur City Dance. Decatur City Dance is pleased to add AboutFace, with its contemporary jazz perspective, to its family of dance companies.
