I'm having a hard time starting this one. Laura invited me to tag along and meet some people she helps. First stop, Dance Place. Over a dozen large studios with sprung marley floors - all I wanted to do was beg Valeri to consider renting a space. Second floor, more of the same, but we ended up at Malashock Dance School learning about outreach programs. I wish I had been part of some sort of dance outreach effort. And I would have loved to have met John Malashock - a choreographer I admire very much. Next stop, I met Matt D'Irrigo of the ARTS Center—where kids can escape their life challenges and nurture their creative sides. Music, photography, performance, literature...every sort of art form is explored and empowered. Both places were poignant, emotional, inspirational, and serve as a reminder that all art is significant and can move us to a better place.
