Cleo Parker Robinson Spring Show Honors Slain Student, Showcases Memphis Street-Style Dance 05/07/2026

We often receive messages about how each performance delivers the unexpected across so many genres of dance.

Don't miss another one! This weekend, "Legacy: Sweet In The Morning" not only celebrates Mother's Day, but the love which lives across the legacies of generations.

Westword's Kristen Fiore goes deep into the backstories we've shared in recent posts, and in this story, you'll see the choreographer of our World Premiere, Lil Buck, perform in 2025 with internationally beloved cellist Yo Yo Ma (one of many of their collaborations). Lil Buck is the only dance artist to begin with Memphis Jookin', continue with ballet, and blend the two genres.

This weekend you will see the unique collaboration of Lil Buck with the CPRD Ensemble...their work began in January, continued during his residency in March, and is fresh on stage.

It's a beautiful, rich, and athletic performance with a duet, a work by the modern dance master Donald McKayle, and so many other strong pieces!
