Atlanta’s dance scene is vibrant and eclectic, and we are honored to highlight some of the many local dancers that move us with their movements in our ongoing series “Speaking of Dance.”

This edition highlights Sharon C. Carelock, an Atlanta dancer who specializes in dance theater. “To describe that, I want you to think of the last time you went to a live play,” Carelock says.

“And imagine that instead of seeing actors onstage speaking a lot of dialogue, imagine that in that set, you see a lot of performers moving.”



This doesn’t mean that Carelock doesn’t speak during her performances, but the dialogue is considerably less.
