The Skeleton Dance

First appearing in 1929 as part of The Skeleton Dance, this delightfully macabre miniature helped launch the groundbreaking Silly Symphonies series from The Walt Disney Company. Set in a moonlit graveyard, the original film features a quartet of skeletons who emerge at the stroke of midnight to sing, dance, and play music on their own bones—blending humor, imagination, and early innovations in synchronized sound. This arrangement brings that same playful spirit to the concert stage. Audiences will enter into this animated world where the eerie becomes whimsical. A perennial Halloween favorite, The Skeleton Dance remains a testament to the creativity and inventiveness of early animated storytelling—proving that even the spookiest subjects can be full of life. ——————————— TikTok, Instagram, Facebook @brianstrohmetzmusic For More Music Visit www.brianstrohmetz.com “Art is the attempt to make order out of chaos.” - Sondheim
