About Capitol Kickline

On the Capitol Steps in Harrisburg, PA!
Join in the celebration of National Dance Week, held April 23 - May 2, 2010! The National Dance Week coalition, first launched in 1981, purpose being to promote and encourage the art of dance in America. Since the inception of the initiative, support and participation has grown rapidly nationwide, with literally thousands of events occurring across the nation during the 10-day spread.
Capitol Kickline is the local initiative of National Dance Week, sponsored and supported by The Greater Harrisburg Arts Council (GHAC). In 1999, the event was originally created by Janice Brougher, owner and artistic director at a local dance school. Carol Wevodau, board member of GHAC presented the idea of partnership with Capitol Kickline, a natural fit for GHAC who promotes performance and visual arts in greater Harrisburg.
A truly unique and fun event, hundreds of dancers gather each year for the fun and festivities. At 12:00 p.m. on April 18, 2010, the kick-off held at the steps of the Capitol Rotunda brings together dancers of all ages who join for a 15-20 minute jazz warm-up. That's when the fun begins! Following the warm-up, dancers learn a short kickline routine to be performed together at 12:30 p.m. to “Kick Off” National Dance Week.

Immediately following the Capitol Kickline, dancers attend master class workshops conducted by international, national and local choreographers in jazz/hip hop, tap and lyrical at the Harrisburg Hilton and Towers in downtown Harrisburg.
Capitol Kickline is a free event open to dancers of all ages. The event has truly become a tradition for this region gaining more support every year. There is a nominal registration fee for those participating in the workshops held during the day.
