Les mer Dancers on the Shore
Based on William Melvin Kelley’s 1964 short story collection, Dancers on the Shore is an anthology series exploring the lives of Black families in Harlem and The Bronx. The series draws from Kelley’s original sixteen stories about three families; the Careys, the Dunfords and the Bedlows—some interlinked and spanning generations from Reconstruction-era South to 1980s New York—as well as additional works he published elsewhere. ADAPTED and DIRECTED by Yhane Washington Smith, STORY EDITING by Jesi Kelley, and PRODUCED BY The Family Eye. The theme song “Through the fire” is produced by Rikko 009. Season 1 follows the Dunfords, a middle-class family living in Harlem’s Sugar Hill in the 1950s. Dr. Charles Dunford and his wife Eleanor raise three children: Chig, the thoughtful eldest; Peter, the sharp-tongued middle child; and Connie, whose path takes an unexpected turn. Their stories explore identity, privilege, and the quiet struggles of being human. We have merch! Check out our merch store, The Hip Assist for t-shirts, hats magnets!
