A number of my Beginning
Dance students and two of their upper-level dance peers have been working on a
piece they will be presenting at the V-Day One Billion Rising Event that is
happening TODAY from 3-7 PM on the Stone Arch Bridge off of Downtown
Minneapolis. These kids are volunteering their after school time to raise
awareness about and try to put an end to violence against women - domestically
and internationally. They've worked hard these last several days to learn
not just the one piece that we'll be performing (we're on the "stage"
at 5:00), but also learning a piece that Debbie Allen (of Fame fame)
choreographed which will be danced at 5:30 by everyone in attendance!
I'll have the full list of participants to share tomorrow, but invite
anyone with the free time to bring their Valentine (or themselves - it's a
perfect anti-Valentines event!) down to the Stone Arch Bridge by 5:00 to cheer
on our Southwest Dancers!
Peace,
Emliy Meyer, Dance Teacher
