A review of Dancing in the streets.

Dancing in the streets is a performance based on the mo-town era. It could be considered a tribute to the great artists of this time. Singers sung songs produced by various artists such as; the Supremes, Stevie wonder, Diana Ross and more. When ever a song by an artist was played during the performance a narrator gave background information into the artist, any one who wants to learn more about artists from the mo-town era should consider this performance.

Many different effects are utilised on stage; machines such as the smoke machine, spotlights, and other stage lights to create a mood. To give more effect to the songs, a band was performing in the unlit areas of the stage. Large images of buildings and artists were placed in the back ground and lights were shone on to them at certain times to create an effect.

In conclusion I found the performance to have a slight educational value, however it is a must see for anyone who loves the music of the mo-town era. With brilliant costumes, special effects and professional acting I give this performance 6/10.
