In honor of National Dance Week, the Sarasota-Manatee Dance Alliance has partnered with the West Coast Civic Ballet to launch SRQDances2013.

This free, inaugural event will celebrate the joy of dance and creative movement. From 6 to 8 p.m. this Friday, April 26, the event begins outside Whole Foods Sarasota with six mini dance classes and demonstrations.

Audience members are invited to join the classes, which will be led by members of the SMDA. The evening will conclude with a party, a free-form dance jam with a disc jockey provided by First Class Events.
