Officially announced and out in the world – “Lamentations for Peace” is an evening length Holiday themed show choreographed by Kia S. Smith premiering on December 6 and 7th at the Dance Center at Colombia College!

JOIN US for an evening/afternoon of fun, festivities, and a moving Holiday-themed show. The show not only amps up the Holiday spirit and gets audience’s ready for the Season, but is a tale of hardships and community during the Holidays. Extra exciting for us is that we are including a children’s cast from Hyde Park School of Dance’s Training Company as well as a featured child soloist – Peter Westergaard (age 7). It’s sure to be a night you won’t forget with Holiday sets, choreography, songs, and joyous sprits!

This choreographic process has been one of joy and anticipation leading up to the month of December. Personally, I’ve decorated earlier for the Holidays than ever before simply due to the fact that we’ve been rehearsing to Holiday music since August! I’m ready for the Season, but most importantly…I’m ready to share the show with you all!

The show really highlights the versatility of SCDT as dancers – it includes high energy jazz moments, beautiful partnering, and angelic and controlled contemporary. We have it all for you wrapped up in a bow!

We hope you come to the show and enjoy every moment as we lead audience’s into the Holiday Spirit! You can get tickets at: https://dance.colum.edu/events/2025/12/6/south-chicago-dance-theatre

We can’t wait to see you there….HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
