ShoeBert Alley Goes Salsa
July 31 from 6-9 pm
Publick Playhouse
This fun, dancing-in-the alley event that makes you the star and benefits area children is back and shaking things up with a salsa band on an outdoor stage! The evening starts with an hour-long salsa lesson from 6-7pm, followed by a two-set dance with a hot Latin band and a food tent. Bring a folding chair if you want to sit; this is an outdoor event that only moves inside the theatre if it rains.
Cost: $15, or bring a pair of NEW shoes and socks for a preschool- or elementary-age child. For more information go to www.pgparks.com or call 301-277-1710.
