For the 3rd straight year (see post on our first party here) we were asked by the American Dance Festival to host a post performance party for one of the major touring companies in this years festival. It is something that Ellen and I really look forward to every year and enjoy as much as the amazing dance performances themselves. We were so honored to be asked to host Shen Wei Dance Arts this year--one of the premiere modern dance companies in the world. Most recently Shen Wei came to the world's attention by being asked to be the principal choreographer of the opening ceremonies for the Bejing Olympics. As usual Ellen prepared a yummy feast and we had a great opportunity to get to know the company.

"The dance is the mother of the arts.
Music and poetry exist in time;
painting and architecture in space.
But the dance lives at once in time and space."
