National Dance Week 2008 Kick-off in Santa Cruz, Thursday, May 1


Tru School Hip Hop, above, and Raizes do Brazil demonstrate capoeira. 
was off to a brilliant start on Thursday, May 1, with free performances at three outdoor locations on Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz. I attended four solid hours of shows (5 p.m.-9 p.m.) and was amazed by the caliber of dancing and captivated by the topnotch choreography. SLIDESHOW! I saw a sampling of dance from:
• Gravity Girls
• Marsea Marquis and Tropicalismo
• Contact Improvisation
• John and Nancy Lingemann
• Tru School Hip Hop
• Mir & A Company
Here are free dances classes May 1-8!
The events are sponsored by the Downtown Association of Santa Cruz.
