Peter London Global Dance Company in its 13th season and listed by Miami New Times as one of Miami's "Top Ten Dance Companies" presents a one-of-a-kind, electrifying dance concert of new and repertory works featuring women choreographers and musicians and a magnificent array of Miami's finest contemporary dancers of grace, creative imagination, and technical virtuosity ...trained in classical ballet, modern and contemporary dance, Afro-Caribbean, jazz and Hip-Hop.

The new works: World premiere of a fascinating and dynamic MD Company performed work by David Milome, and the world premiere of his contagiously hot and wild work for PLGDC, that includes the ferocious dancers of MD Company. London’s world premiere of “Children of the Underground” created for MD Company and which includes PLGDC technical virtuosic and spiritually possessed dancers, weaves a dynamic and thrilling movement narrative of the journey of Africans from the Continent, over the Atlantic, into the Americas and the Caribbean, and by any means necessary, held on to their soul sustaining traditional dance and music rituals, both sacred and secular, with innovative changes that kept the core of the concepts intact. Driving and pulsating off your seat movements and music carries the soul from temple to street to underground New York City club houses and hidden rituals.
