Learn more about the artists that the AC is bringing to the Adirondacks this season!
Peggy Lynn
Peggy Lynn, singer, songwriter and arts educator brings an infectious enthusiasm to all her endeavors. With a sultry, yet powerful alto voice, Peggy gives a clear message of the passion underlying her songs. While her style and range give meaning and feeling to all her work, her most powerful message, her passion, is for the contributions and burdens of women. Peggy ranges from folksy to blues with equal ease, alone or harmonizing with others.
Inspiration comes from living. Many of Peggy’s songs reflect her own experiences, observations and opinions. As such there is continuously an evolution of new thought, experiences and thus new songs and presentations. As she says “music is still breaking out all over the place.”

Soul Steps
Soul Steps was founded in 2005 by step artist Maxine Lyle in hopes of disseminating an awareness of step dance beyond a collegiate environment. Their mission is to expand the presence of stepping in the arts and entertainment industries while creating avenues for cultural exchange and awareness among diverse communities. Specializing in the live performance, artistic instruction, and educational outreach of African-based step dance, Soul Steps reaches far beyond conventional boundaries and concentrates on the body as a percussive, story-telling instrument. Performances include the personal and cultural stories of the Soul Steps artists and the generations of ancestors they represent.

Soul Steps: African-American Step Dancing Performance

SOUL STEPS speaks the language of rhythm! For over a century, step dancers have used their bodies as musical instruments to create a new physical language that inspires, celebrates and forges community. SOUL STEPS brings this explosive African American art form to the stage in a high-energy performance where Afro-urban rhythms and personal narratives relay cultural stories and explore an artistic legacy. In an interactive, 60-minute performance, students are invited on stage to learn the dance, share in call and response interludes, and become participants in the celebration!
