Behind the Scenes Rehearsal for the Léim Show: Marley Soft Shoe

Описание: Catch a glimpse behind the scenes at a rehearsal for our guest spot at Léim's annual show. In this video, Sheila and Emma talk through some decisions about the Marley Soft Shoe performance as they rehearse the routine.

The Marley Soft Shoe is one of the original Vaudeville-era Marley dances, passed down from Anna Marley to Tony Barrand and Kari Smith, and now preserved by Sheila Graziano and Adam Wheeler through the Marley Project. This important cultural effort was supported by a grant from AACTMAD (Ann Arbor Community for Traditional Music and Dance).

The CommonWealth Dance Collective is an ensemble based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, dedicated to preserving and performing traditional percussive dance styles. Our repertoire includes Appalachian clogging, Irish and Sean Nos dancing, Canadian step dancing, English clog dancing, tap dance, and historical Vaudeville-era Marley dances. We are part of the non-profit Ann Arbor Community for Traditional Music and Dance.

Léim is a student-led performing Irish dance group at the University of Michigan which we connected with this past summer at the Michigan Celtic Festival. Several of our dancers are alumni of the group. Learn more about Léim here:
