Just Dancing has a Latin class on Sunday nights, and there are always lessons before the dances at Casa Loma. I first danced to El Caribe Tropical down in the Links Club a couple of years ago with one of our more stylish local dancers and lost my heart to him for a long time. So be careful when you go Latin dancing. It s dangerous. A simple tale, well told, can create and strengthen community, can teach us to celebrate our differences and uniqueness, and can illuminate the threads that bind us all as part of the human family.
All events are free.
Performances will take place in the Visitor Center under the Gateway Arch, at the Old Courthouse, the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Missouri Historical Society, city and county parks and libraries, St. Charles parks, and other sites throughout the metropolitan area. Certain performances are interpreted for the deaf. Major sponsors of the Festival are the University of Missouri-St. This program is made possible by a grant from the Arts and Education Council of Greater St. Louis, along with their corporate partner, Union Electric Co., and with support from The Regional Arts Commission. The G.T.E.V. D'Froehliche Schuhplattlers are a dance group dedicated to the preservation of the dance, music and traditional culture of Germany.
