Swan 

Hoyt Sherman Place

Shaun Johnson returns to the Hoyt Sherman Place stage with his Jazz Pop holiday show. As the lead singer of Tonic Sol-fa, and an Emmy winner, Shaun reworks classic Christmas fare with a charismatic charm, and his performances routinely sell out. Make plans to see this nationally acclaimed Billboard Top 5 artist as he brings a new show back to Des Moines!

Join us for an unforgettable evening as SEEDS presents "Waves," a contemporary ballet production that showcases the talents of Des Moines’ premier youth-led ballet and dance performance group, Swan. This event marks the 3rd annual arts showcase that not only highlights the incredible skills of these young performers but also celebrates the power of community and collaboration.

Directed by the renowned Swan Project dance company and produced by SEEDS Nonprofit Organization, "Waves" is more than just a ballet. It is a testament to the dedication of SEEDS to provide no-cost after-school arts, cultural, and entrepreneurship programming for Black and Brown youth. This initiative not only nurtures their artistic talents but also empowers them to explore and express their identities through dance.

The evening doesn't end with the final bow. Attendees are invited to continue the celebration with a visual arts installation by SEEDS, held in the Hoyt Sherman Place art gallery. This post-performance event is a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself further in the arts and meet the young artists who are shaping the future of dance.

Don't miss this spectacular blend of dance, community, and art. Secure your tickets early and be part of a night that promises to be both inspiring and transformative.
