Invictus is a 4-act show that will take you on a journey through the development of Pop and RnB, Choreography, Music and Costumes. Act 1 will transport you through the Birth of POP, the end of the disco sound and the inspiration it had on pop music; Act 2 sees us in the early 2000's Hip Hop era, where parachute pants and the attitude was displayed on the outside; Act 3 pays homage to the Ballads era; and Act 4 is modern pop music.
Legacy Dance Company cast are local Nelson and Tasman dancers that have dedicated time to explore, train and develop the craft as performers. Many dancers recently represented Nelson Tasman at National Level Dance competitions and events.
