newMoves Dance Festival Starts Today - Staycee Pearl dance project Tomorrow!

Staycee Pearl's company, Staycee Pearl dance project, will be performing tomorrow night (FRI May 13 @ 7pm) at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater in the newMoves Dance Festival. It's always great to be able to see the artistic work of our teaching artists -- and in this case you'll be able to see two of them: Staycee Pearl's choreography along with all of the fierceness that is teaching artist, Kerra Alexander's, dancing! (Kerra is in the company).
