Elements Dance Company: Until The Streetlights Come On

Until the Streetlights Come On invites audiences to remember a time when joy was expansive, unstructured, and safe; when kids could roam for miles, lost in play, knowing that once the streetlights flickered on, they’d head home to waiting families. Through Hip Hop, multimedia storytelling, and the authentic voices of young dancers, this work traces the path from today’s chaotic headlines to the rediscovery of that pure, essential joy. While the world has changed, the need for childhood joy has not. This performance is both a celebration and a call to protect the spaces—physical and emotional—where that joy can still thrive.
