NOV 20-21: Move it on over to MOVE! this weekend

Come check out some homegrown musical talent and amazing contemporary dance from Seattle and Tacoma -- IN TACOMA! Don't think you're into dance? I didn't think I was either ... but these folks have changed my mind ...




This event is a fundraiser for Tacoma's MLK Ballet Company, which my daughter happens to be in ... and I can't say enough good things about this program. I've watched my daughter go from a 7-year-old sometimes frustrated with the repetitiveness of learning early steps to now a 9-year-old with poise and passion and some darn good MOVES.
