Approx Running Time: 95 minutes, no intermission

The show takes place in SOWA Arts District, Boston’s South End. The journey begins and ends at Urbanity Dance: 280 Shawmut Ave, #1 Boston, MA 02118

The Sun Queen is an Urbanity original work that follows a girl who has been prophesied to be the next dance legend, but can’t seem to find her own groove. Each location on the journey marks a different point in The Sun Queen’s growth from infancy to womanhood and emotional journey as she discovers more about herself. Forty dancers create a visual feast for the senses, as fashion, sets, videography, sound and technology collide.


What is a “dance journey”? 

We’re re-envisioning the way dance can be experienced. The Sun Queen is a unique production, a "dance journey", taking place in six locations in Boston's South End. Audience members book their expedition, as dinner reservations, choosing from 1 of 4 times each night. Intimate groups of 20 audience members per show follow a cast of 40 dancers, like a “dance crawl”. The meeting and ending place of the journey is Urbanity's own studio at 280 Shawmut Avenue in the South End.

Is the show kid friendly?

Kids are welcome and we believe kids will love this show! Of course, it depends on the kid. Because there are six rooms, we encourage parents to take children out of a certain room if they are being disruptive or are scared by any scenes.
