Now That I Can Dance – Motown 1962
by Rick Sperling

Back by popular demand! Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit will revive its wildly successful production of the hit musical, Now That I Can Dance — Motown 1962, a toe-tapping, hip-swaying celebration of Motown, and the young men and women who made it great! The play recounts the early days of Motown, before Diana Ross reigned supreme, Little Stevie became a legend, and five young girls from Inkster, Michigan, were destined to make musical history. Signed by Motown while still students at Inkster High School, these young women (now known to the world as The Marvelettes) went on to record the first Motown song ever to reach number one on the Billboard pop charts – “Please Mr. Postman.”

Now That I Can Dance was written by Mosaic founder Rick Sperling and includes members of the community and Mosaic alumni performing side-by-side with Mosaic Youth Ensemble members.
