ICONIC - DANCE IN FILM ICONIC - AMDA's Fall Dance Concert of 2015 - was a modern celebration of 20th Century dance on film reimagined through live performance. Immersed in the rich history of dance from the 1920's to now, AMDA students trained rigorously with some of the most innovative artists of the era, including original choreographers and dancers from CHICAGO to DIRTY DANCING and Janet Jackson's IF. Students recreated cinema's most cherished dance moments as ICONIC intertwined screen and stage in homage to some of the greatest dancers of all time: from Fred Astaire to the sultry burlesque of the "Cell Block Tango" to the pop grooves of Michael Jackson. Surprisingly modern, ICONIC transposed the dances that dominated our screens to the visceral world of live theatre, paying tribute to the films that still impact nearly every aspect of modern entertainment, from today's hottest and most cutting edge music videos, to the shared experiences of artists and audiences across the world. ICONIC was directed by dancer/director/choreographer Doriana Sanchez. Original choreography reimagined included that by masters Fred Astaire and Hermes Pan - Cheek to Cheek from TOP HAT; Gene Kelly and Arthur Freed - Moses Supposes from SINGIN' IN THE RAIN; Jerome Robbins - Dance at the Gym from WEST SIDE STORY; Louis Falco - Conversation Without Words from FAME; John O'Connell - El Tango Roxanne from MOULIN ROUGE; Daniel Ezralow - ACROSS THE UNIVERSE REDUX; Rob Marshall - Cell Block Tango from CHICAGO; Louis Johnson - Ease On Down the Road from THE WIZ; Bob Fosse - Rich Man's Frug from SWEET CHARITY; Tina Landon - Janet Jackson's IF (Tina choreographed IF again for ICONIC); Karole Ermitage - Madonna's VOGUE; Vincent Paterson - Michael Jackson's SMOOTH CRIMINAL; MC Hammer - for his own HAMMER; Jared Hess and Jon Heder - Vote for Pedro from NAPOLEON DYNAMITE; and Kenny Ortega - Time of My Life from DIRTY DANCING (reimagined and choreographed by original cast member/dancer Doriana Sanchez).
