The repertoire spans seven centuries, featuring compositions by Purcell, Mozart, Florence Price, and Duke Ellington. Ranging from pieces that entertained monarchs to ritualistic sounds warding off evil spirits, each track connects dance and rhythm in a universal way. Hope emphasizes the unifying power of dance, where individuals from diverse backgrounds can seamlessly feel the rhythm and move together in harmony when they gather in a room.
