Now That I Can Dance – Motown 1962
by Rick Sperling

A hit play about how young Detroiters changed the music world, Now That I Can Dance is one of the most popular shows in Mosaic’s history. Following the dramatic real-life story of the Marvelettes, five teenagers from Inkster who went on to perform Motown Record’s first number one song, Please Mr. Postman, the play also follows the early stories of Diana Ross and Florence Ballard of the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, and more.

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.
