The Silhouettes, America’s premiere shadow-dance company and finalist on America’s Got Talent, bring their inspirational performance to Greeley’s Union Colony Civic Center at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 6. Using shadow, light, music, and dance, The Silhouettes enrapture audiences with powerful stories performed by the company’s talented cast of young dancers.
From Colorado Dance Troupe to America’s Got Talent
Established in 2009 in Denver, Colorado, by creator and director Lynne Waggoner-Patton, The Silhouettes became a national sensation after their performance on America’s Got Talent season six in 2011, placing second out of more than 100,000 acts. They returned for America’s Got Talent: The Champions in 2020, receiving the coveted golden buzzer from celebrity judge, Alesha Dixon.
After their reality TV success, The Silhouettes traveled the world, creating powerful, values-driven performances that evoke emotion from audiences and raise awareness on behalf of organizations supporting homeless children, veterans, and families in need. The company raised more than $100,000 for homeless children in the U.S. and remains committed to giving back through performances that change the world, “one shadow at a time.”
