BWW Review: VERSA-STYLE DANCE Presents ORIGINS OF HIP-HOP at Glendale Library, Arts & Culture
by Valerie-Jean Miller - June 26, 2021
This was the second Company to perform in The Brand Associates/Glendale Library Dance Series that has been absent during the pandemic, and it is thrilling that it now is back!! The Versa-Style Dance Company brings a new element to the mix of dance styles and appearances from former years, although they have performed in this series in the past. With a unique urban vibe, funky and down-into it and a free-form mix of styles... by that, I mean more improvisational, than say ballet or jazz. It gives you a free, uplifting and joyous feeling and is very infectious.
