The Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts celebrates dance and the Prince of Pop in the upcoming main stage production, “SYN*ER*GY.”

“SYN*ER*GY” runs Friday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 3 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. This production is located in the Historic Huntington Beach Union High School District Auditorium and Bell Tower.

Among the variety of dance in this show is a number dedicated to late musician, Prince. This tribute is in the form of a sequence that includes three different songs, “Baby I’m A Star,” “Let’s Go Crazy,” and “The Beautiful Ones.”

“Prince left such a profound mark on the world, so we had to use this as an opportunity to honor him. Plus, you can’t help but dance to his music anyway!” said Director of “SYN*ER*GY” and choreographer of this sequence, Marie Hoffman.
