cassidyroseBig Moves has a lot of events coming up which may be of interest to some of you, or to others that you know (full listing on Web site and behind cut tag). Please, please, please help get this information out!
For anyone interested in my performances, I am performing with the Phat Fly Girls (hip-hop dance) at the Latin Dance Party on March 31st, at Big Boogie Nights on April 20th, and at the Women's Work show on May 7th. I am also performing as a soloist and in two group pieces (modern dance) at the Bodies in Motion concert on April 12th and 13th, and again at the Women's Work show on May 7th. I will be teaching a jazz class at the 3rd Annual Day of Dance on May 19th.
If you have any questions about any of the events just ask me!
Latin Dance Party
Sunday, March 31 * 8 to 11 p.m. (dance lessons start at 7)
Ashkenaz Music and Dance Cafe * 1317 San Pablo Avenue, Berkeley
$12/advance, $15/door
Come early for lessons from Be-Boppin' Babes and stay into the night to party on! Dance to DJ music with hot Latin beats all night long, while the café at Ashkenaz keeps you fueled with cool drinks and casual vegetarian fare.

Friday and Saturday, April 12-13 * 8 p.m.
ODC Theater * 3153 17th Street, San Francisco
$18/advance, $20/door
One stage, three companies, and a whole new view of the dancer's body: that's the promise of this size-diverse dance concert that returns to the Bay Area after a triumphant debut last year. Once again headlining the show is Big Dance, the Canadian modern dance company with all large dancers, under the artistic direction of founder Lynda Raino. Opening the show is FatChanceBellyDance, as well as Joe Landini Dance Company and guests with a new work commissioned for Bodies in Motion 2002. And stay after the show for a reception with the performers!

Appreciating the Larger Dancer
Tuesday, April 30 * 7 to 9 p.m.
Audre Lorde Room, Women's Building * 3543 18th Street at Valencia, San Francisco
FREE
Many people in the dance world talk about fat, weight, largeness as if they were liabilities. But maybe fat is just another trait that can be put to use in the service of art. Join Big Moves and Bay Area teachers, dancers, and choreographers as we explore body diversity and how it contributes to the aesthetics and physiological realities of dance.
This event is part of Bay Area Celebrates National Dance Week, held this year from April 26 through May 5. Visit http://www.voiceofdance.com for a complete schedule of events.
**************
Fundamentals of Hip-Hop
1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month, 2 to 4 p.m.
Dance Mission * 3316 24th Street at Mission, San Francisco.
$15/class if paid by the month, $20/drop-in
Hip-hop, yeah, you know what it is. It's that flashy, funky, oh-so-sharp dancin' that goes so well with today's music. This class for beginners and shy people of all sizes will get you out there and moving in no time. All sizes and genders welcome.
Please note: this studio is up a flight of stairs, and on-street parking is limited. Call 707/546-6170, or send an e-mail to preregister.
(The $15/class advance rate is good by the month. That is, you can pay $15 per class for all the classes in that month, but the fee is good for that month only. No holdovers from month to month.)
