PS #1: Spotlight on Philadelphia

What portion of the dance ecosystem in Philadelphia would you like to shine a light on?  Name it here, and tell us why.
Lisa Kraus How about the ‘Batizado’ at the Capoeira Arts Center when great Mestres (like super black belts) come from Brazil to ‘test’ the capoeiristas? It’s like a party full of the most sneaky, bouncy, seemingly impossible movement.
Lewis WhittingtonLisa, really impressive and these writers are going to be wonderful voices in our field. Your orchestration will be invaluable. Salut to you & the writers
