Sarasota Contemporary Dance in Miami

August 20, 2021 – Sarasota

Sarasota Contemporary Dance is representing Sarasota’s artistic prowess by
performing in Miami this September with Adele Myers and Dancers at the Miami Dade Cultural
Arts Center, the world-class epicenter of culture and performance in South Florida. SCD will be
performing Adele’s work, titled Victory Dance, alongside other engaging and dynamic works
performed by Myers’ company. This piece was originally set on SCD in January 2020,
performed during SCD’s 14th Season Dance Makers concert to critically renowned reception.
Lauded by the Herald Tribune’s previous dance writer Carrie Sedman for the piece’s ability to
capitalize “on the dancers’ strengths, diversity, and charisma,” Meyers’ Victory Dance “reflects
the need for moments of celebratory release after hard-fought battles.”

SCD is thrilled to collaborate with Adele Myers and showcase its high-caliber contemporary
performance to a new audience. The performance will take place at the South Miami Dade
Cultural Arts Center from September 10th-12th.

While creating the piece, Adele Myers was inspired by the remarkable win that the Women’s US
National Soccer Team accomplished at the World Cup 2019. Adele quotes “When the Women’s
US National Soccer Team won the World Cup [in the summer of 2019], I was overwhelmingly
elated by their victory as if it were my own. While not explicitly about soccer, that sense of a
collective hard-won victory inspired this female quintet.”

In the true spirit of SCD’s upcoming 16th season, GRIT, Adele continues, “Victory Dance is an
ode to the individual grit and tenacity of female athletes of the heart whose field is the stage and
whose game is this live performance. This work is their Victory Dance.”
