Attention Two-Stepper: Allison Orr Wants YOU!



A Press Release from my buddy Allison-- if you haven't seen her work, trust me, she is an amazing choreographer.

We need two-steppers, yes we do!

Would you like to participate in what might be the grandest of all two-steps on the steps of the capitol? Entitled T is for...Two Hundred Two-Steppers on the Steps of the Texas Capitol, this free 30-minute performance will celebrate the two-step's rich cultural history while showcasing local dancers who love and live for the two-step.

Serving as the kick-off event for the 2010 Fusebox Festival, T is for... will be directed by celebrated local choreographer Allison Orr in partnership with award-winning Austin-based composer Graham Reynolds, who will be leading a 15-piece Texas swing orchestra.

The show will run from 6:30-7pm and Stubb's is providing free BBQ!

Would you like to participate? Here are the options:

Show up the day of the show! Show up and dance in the grand finale. Just arrive by 6:30pm and be in the end. Dance your heart out for the grand all-step!

Show up earlier the day of the show! Show up by 4pm on the South Steps of the Capitol and dance in the opening and ending sections. RSVP to twostep@fuseboxfestival.commailto:twostep@fuseboxfestival.com> so we can save you a spot. No partner required.

Want to play a bigger role? This is for experienced two-steppers. We will begin weekly rehearsals in mid-March. Email twostep@fuseboxfestival.commailto:twostep@fuseboxfestival.com> if you are interested and tell us if you have a partner and what kind of dancing you like to do.
