And then there is a Dance showcase at the Sondheim Center.  What a line-up!  Claudia Melrose, a Fulbright scholar in Afro-Cuban dance will be performing an African dance, accompanied by drummers; Hip hop Champion, Sky Nite will show off his moves; local & regional ballroom, swing & salsa dancers will add lots of spice to the stage; English Country Dancers will be in their Elizabethan costumes; Wendy Stegall & students will bring a little Slumdog dancing to the mix;Hilary Jordan, Serenity Stone & Tiffany Sanner will be doing the “modern” thing;  yeah, WOW!  And there’s so much more (including a return of Pyrotechniqs and their flame dancing)

I’ve already seen a rehearsal… and I can tell you this will be a show you don’t want to miss.  It’s only $3 at the door of the Sondheim Center starting at 8 pm.

Following the show is a dance featuring Blue Cat Alley… have you heard these guys?  They make you want to get up and dance!  They’ll start playing at 9 and will go until 11.  The proceeds from this dance will go to benefit Molly Atkinson who was injured in an accident last year.  $5 at the door.  Its a great cause and a great band so come on out and have a good time!

Hey… I’ll see you on the dance floor!
