So you think you can dance?

Yes, I’m absolutely stealing this text from an email from the wonderful Jessica Walters. Jess is who got me turned on to Dominic Walsh, and she’s a huge advocate of dance. I couldn’t have said it better myself, so here goes!

Friends,

I wanted to remind you about the Dominic Walsh Dance Theater performance this week!  Most of you know I’m on the Board of this wonderful organization, and I’m constantly moved by what these incredible dancers do.  I hope you’ll join me at one of the performances this week – you can pick from Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

This is a Mixed Rep – some of the works are dark and evocative, some humorous and artistic.  And we’re premiering a new duet that I have not seen, yet promises to be amazing.  This is contemporary ballet – rooted in classical tradition, but more freedom of movement.  No tutus here, folks.

Tickets can be purchased here:  http://www.dwdt.org.

I’ll be attending Friday performance.  If you are free Friday night, I encourage you to come then.  If you buy the “Casting Couch” ticket, (one for $35, two for $50!), you come up on the stage after the show, mingle with the dancers, and have wine and light bites.

For the other nights, tickets start in the $20s – and in Zilkha Hall (at the Hobby Center) there’s not a bad seat.

I hope you’ll join me!  This is the last performance of the season, so if you’ve been telling yourself that you need to go, but haven’t, this is your chance!

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
