The Chattanooga African American Museum will host a Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit, "The Dancer Within," from June 23rd through August 15th.

Rennie Harris's Students of the Asphalt Jungle The Dancer Within is a photographic display by nationally-acclaimed photo-journalist, Rose Eichenbaum. This exhibit captures the character and vitality of nearly 50 of the world's greatest dancers, including The American Ballerina, Cynthia Gregory; Tony Award winner and acclaimed actor and singer, Ben Vereen; the Spanish Dane Legend Jose Greco; and Goddess of Broadway, Chita Rivera.
