Area dance company CityDance Ensemble wraps up a busy season tonight with The Songwriters, a tribute to some of America’s greatest songwriters including Woody Guthrie, Sonny Terry, and Bruce Springsteen.

While CityDance consistently puts on a great program, Artistic Director Paul Gordon Emerson’s piece set to Springsteen’s music is sure to steal the show. Born to Run will use Springstein’s iconic music and legendary lyrics to showcase the spirit of youth, adventure, and growing up in America.

“Springsteen’s music defined rock and roll for several generations,” Emerson said. “The opportunity to stage dance to that music is both a privilege and a challenge.”
