Taking a Trip to DC? Go see this exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery

Hey DT!

If any of you live in the DC area or are interested in taking a trip during a weekend. The National Portrait Gallery in the heart of DC has a new exhibit detailing the history of dance. It touches on everything from ballet, modern, and dance in popular culture. Talk to a friend in DT and make the visit! It sounds pretty awesome.

Here is an article from the Washington Post that talks more about it:

Inspiration for Next DT Formal

If anyone has been conjuring up ideas for what activities to get your future children involved in...I have the answer. Meet Tera, a 6-year-old B-girl likely to show half of the so-called B-er's up around the world.

Also, I though we could use this as inspiration for our next DT party. I call the head spins!
