Beloved - Seamless Dance

 

Beloved"Beloved" journeys us to individuals whose lives have been overtaken by their need to feel important, beautiful, or wanted by someone. Like many of us, these characters go to great lengths to feel fulfilled, still sometimes fall ing short. The second half of the show is based on a lifetime of two people's relationship. All the way from meeting to death do us part. It will be an evening not soon forgotten so join us to celebrate art, dance, music, and most importantly....the Beloved.
