Playing the Hits: Dancing with the Stars! is a monthly series of screening the documentation of older works by living choreographers. Please join us for each monthly gathering to see these important performances, hear a post screening conversation between Kim and the choreographer, and schmooze afterwards for a community hang. It’s casual!
