I'm a pretty good dancer but I've basically got one move. My parents call it my "booter down" dance. For some reason, it makes people laugh. Whatever.Maybe I need to head over to OBT Exposed this summer and learn some new moves from the dancers. xoxo, ~ Scoutie
Here's the scoop:
OBT EXPOSED / JULY 18 - 23, 2011 / DIRECTOR PARK
Back by popular demand... OBT Exposed - a week of free public programming at Director Park in Downtown Portland. Formerly held for over a decade under a tent in Portland's South Park Blocks, OBT Exposed has been under wraps since 2008. OBT is once again moving our studios outdoors for your enjoyment. We invite visitors of all ages to experience the daily regimen of the dancers as we prepare for our upcoming trip to Seoul, South Korea to perform George Balanchine's The Nutcracker.
Bring your lunch, relax with friends or treat your loved
ones to the beauty and grace of OBT's dancers and a behind-the-scenes
glimpse of what it takes to stage a ballet. A unique and energizing way
to spend a summer afternoon, not to mention it's absolutely FREE! www.obt.org
