Ten local Sunshine Coast women will be bringing a dance production featuring an array of Beyonce songs to Cooroy.
Titled BeYou, the performance will take the audience on a journey through the essence of womanhood, blending movement, emotion and the infectious beats of some of Beyonce’s most iconic tracks.
Crafted and taught by Abby Bennett, a prominent figure in the Sunshine Coast’s movement scene, BeYou brings together 10 everyday women, with some preparing solos.
The women have been rehearsing since February.
“This production means a lot to me – it’s more than a performance. Dancing with these women has brought me a lot of joy. All the women offer something different and special,” teacher Abby said.
BeYou is not just a performance; it’s a journey through the layers of womanhood, showcasing the beauty of feminine essence, joy, emotion, raw expression, and sensuality.
From old favourites to newer hits, the dances are choreographed to a mix of Beyonce’s timeless tracks, promising a night filled with fun and joy.
For Velvet Garvey, a Noosa local and performer in the show, the connection to Beyonce’s music runs deep.
“Beyonce has so many incredible songs, and her music resonates with everyone differently,“ Velvet said.
“For me, I’ve loved connecting with the nostalgia of her early work. Destiny’s Child was the soundtrack to my teenage years so I love getting to dance to it as an adult.”
Bronya, another dancer in the ensemble, echoed the sentiment, saying, “It’ll be beautiful. Such a celebration, really.”
The women would love to invite the Sunshine Coast community to this beautiful evening of storytelling through dance.
