Living Fountain offers performance pieces to fit your needs. Here is a complete list of our ongoing repertoire:

A favorite of audience members! The concert begins with two bugs meeting for the first time. Powerful and mischievous music lights up the stage as these dancers transform from caterpillars to butterflies, spiders, night birds, and trees. The concert carries hidden meanings about protecting our environment and celebrating creation.
Living Fountain Dance Company pulls out all the stops. The dancers use pedestrian movements and merge through modern dance, ballet, and hop-hop jazz dance styles. This concert is sure to satisfy the diverse audiences the group attracts. Unity and Fusion happen as this concert clearly impacts the heart with things the mind has trouble grasping. (4 selections equaling 20 minutes.)
Tangle with the Ghost is an energetic portrayal of the quest to understand the spirit of human nature, these dancers use slap-stick and jovial modern dance to encourage the rest of us along the journey to celebrate life and all of its mysteries. Choreographed to the music of Jory Nash, a Canadian Folk singer, this concert will follow you home as you bounce away.
A full ballet to Improvisational Jazz Music the concert is performed live with Tommy D playing Saxophone, Flute while using Sequences and Loops. Dancers weave in and out of choreography and improvisation. The process is the purpose. During this full-length show the dancers, musicians, and audience members realize that they can, indeed, overcome any obstacle in order to reach their dreams. Performed in the ROUND! Terrific in Gallery Spaces.
The Color of Hope starts as pink – but quickly diversifies to the whole color spectrum. Dancers are dressed in pink camouflage and are accompanied by women who reveal themselves to be Breast Cancer conquerors. Throughout the show the women share testimony of how their friends and family supported them as they battled Breast Cancer. Highlights of the show are; a hair-cutting ceremony, live music, and Breast Cancer Survivors joining dancers on stage.
The four elements of Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind are represented through poetry, dance, and the visual arts of Randall Slaughter. Exciting, Grounding, Transforming, and Inspirational are all qualities of the 40 minute production. All the earth works in harmony because the four elements are respectful of one another. When we liken our personalities to the 4 elements we have a visual education on living in harmony with one another.
Historically, dance has found expression in an infinite variety of styles or forms, ranging from solemnity of a religious rite to that of the fancy free. Dances of time is a historical study of the relationship between music and dance.
Resistance is the only thing between an artist and their creation. Overcoming resistance in order to create is an art form of it’s own. Living Fountain enlightens the tricks of the trade and inspires audience members to step out and try something new. Those audience members facing resistance of any kind will walk away knowing that nothing is impossible.
Living Fountain prioritizes the choreographic process in education. Students attend 6 weeks of improvisation and 6 weeks of choreography during a 30 week school year education. The dance pieces created during this time have revolutionalized our stage. We prioritize setting the lights towards young artists and giving them an opportunity to shine.
Creativity…What is it? Where does it come from? How does it work? This 4 movement piece highlights the innovation of Jimmy Landry, a 7 year old boy, who designed…”The bullet Grabber”, and several famous artists as well. These include; The Beatles, The Guarnari Quartet, and Dave Brubeck.
