Dancing Queen
All those years watching Footloose, Flashdance and Fame shouldn't go to waste. But before you sign-up for So You Think You Can Dance, give your blue suede shoes a dry run at Dance Marathon.
Part
performance and part participation, the event concocted by an East
Coast theatre collective tips it fedora to the 1930s by transforming
The Roundhouse Community Centre into a Great Depression-era dance hall.
A live band plays, while audience members in numbered pinnies compete
to be the last dancers standing.
Unfortunately, you won't get a scream from Mary Murphy when you've won, but it's probably better that way.
Dance Marathon, February 9-13, 2010 at the Roundhouse Community Centre, 181 Roundhouse Mews, Vancouver, tickets $30 at www.brownpapertickets.com
