Desert Dance Theatre presents “Cool Desert Night: An Evening of Music and Dance”

In celebration of its 45th season, Desert Dance Theatre presents “Cool Desert Night: An Evening of Music & Dance” featuring special guest jazz pianist, Charles Lewis. The evening will include: new music and dance collaborations as well as some oldies but goodies. The company will perform dances to a variety of music ranging from contemporary to traditional Latin Jazz and Fusion. We will bring back “blasts from the past” interdisciplinary music and dance repertory of Crossroads Performance Group and Step’s Junk Funk. There will also be a raffle and silent auction to help us to continue “Dancing into the Future.”

​Special Guest Artist, Charles Lewis:

Jazz pianist, Charles Lewis has lived and performed in Arizona since the early 1950s. Born in Philadelphia in 1933, local jazz legend Lewis began playing piano at age seven, and was greatly influenced by musicians such as Oscar Peterson, Ray Charles, Dizzy Gillespie, and Nat King Cole. He started his Arizona career playing at the South 7th Avenue Elks Club in Phoenix, which is now a historic African American landmark. He eventually formed his own band, The Charles Lewis Quintet. He is an Arizona treasure in the artistic and music community and was an Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall Of Fame inductee.
