Daily Stuff - Taught the Dewey Elementary kids today. They learned how to do a 3 step turn and a polka. Then had a nice class with Level 5 at SDSB. We learned how to do a pas de chat but entournent, which means turning.

Went to see a touring production of Chicago tonight. I wish I could say some nicer things about it but it was just so glossy and slick in a non exciting way. The revival restaging has none of the danger or seediness of the original show. Just a lot of nice bodies slinking around in moves from pretty much every Bob Fosse show.
