SHADES DANCE THEATER PRESENTS: THE RETURN

June 19–20, 2026
at the KSU Dance Theater
Atlanta, Georgia

 THIS IS NOT A REVIVAL. THIS IS THE RETURN. 

A night where freedom feels like music, and music feels like home.

Shades Dance Theater returns to Atlanta for Juneteenth weekend as one of the city’s cultural highlights with a new program, THE RETURN. Founded by Atlanta native Cameron Terry, the company comes home for an evening where movement meets the music that shaped generations. Building on the success of 2023’s Love, Fantasy and Euphoria and 2024’s Mixtapes, THE RETURN moves across a musical landscape that feels both familiar and electric. From jazz enthusiasts to lovers of ’90s R&B and ’70s soul classics, to those who remember when that rap track first hit the streets, this dynamic program offers something for everyone.
