Movement Inspired by the Music of U2
Through a mix of contemporary, jazz, and lyrical works, HDC’s dancers brought iconic songs like With or Without You, City of Blinding Lights, and Beautiful Day to life on stage. The concert highlighted the depth and versatility of the Company, while giving each senior dancer a chance to shine in featured solos. It was a powerful tribute to U2’s ability to inspire unity, resilience, and hope through music.
