Rollins College graduate Dario Moore, of the Center for Contemporary Dance, infuses the beauty of dance with the rich history of our people in Sacred Slave Stories, February 2nd-5th. Moore's dance studio is one of a kind offering pre-professional courses as well as classes for those who simply like to cut a rug.

Also on the show, Glenn Barbour--a playwright whose upcoming show The July Perry Story uncovers an element of Central Florida's chilling past. In November 1920, July Perry, a black man from Ocoee, went to the polls to vote. Within hours of being turned away, a race riot occured that left an estimated 10-60 African Americans dead. As a result, the town of Ocoee became a white-only town for nearly 60 years, according to the 1980 US Census. The July Perry Story can be seen at Mt. Pleasant MBC on Saturday, Feb. 19th.
