At the start of Dance/MetroDC's third annual regional celebration of all things dance, a brief preview of some events appears in today's Weekend section of The Washington Post.
"Washington and its suburbs are ready to rock -- and tango, plie, shuffle, lunge, jump and skip.
It's all part of Dance Is the Answer, the region's contribution to National Dance Week. Over the next 10 days, nearly 80 companies, studios and individuals across the area will offer dance-related activities, such as free hip-hop classes, choreographer meet-and-greets, lectures, workshops and performances in genres spanning the globe and the centuries.
'This year we're showing our local community as an international world of dance,' says Peter DiMuro, director of Dance/MetroDC, the festival's sponsor. 'We're really trying to give an international flavor using all locally based artists: You'll see Indian dance next to hip-hop next to aerial dance next to fusion next to modern. It feels like a trip around the world.'"
