2010–2011 DANCE CALENDAR
Not every dance company has finalized plans for the year, but even so, it looks like it’s going to be a good year in dance! Here’s what trolling through websites turned up. Lots and lots and lots of dance between now and July 2011! (If you know of a show I missed (or see an error), please list it in the Comments or send a note to seattledances1@gmail.com. Thx!)
What are you most looking forward to?
Please…let the season start soon!
