On Friday, let dance creep into your everyday life and join the rest of the world in the 10th annual &#8220;dance anywhere&#8221; celebrations. You can watch free performances in venues all over San Francisco, get your office mates to froog in their cubicles, or just celebrate quietly on your own with a little jig as you wait in line at the grocery\u00a0store.<\/p>\n<p>Organizer\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/?controllerName=search&amp;action=search&amp;channel=performance&amp;search=1&amp;inlineLink=1&amp;query=%22Beth+Fein%22\">Beth Fein<\/a>\u00a0sees the global &#8220;dance anywhere&#8221; movement &#8211; events are scheduled at noon in San Francisco, and simultaneously as far off as Cozumel, Budapest, Cairo and Tel Aviv &#8211; as not just a kind of public art performance and a way to inject some fun into life, but also a spark for creativity. One participant recorded herself doing a little bit of raising the roof in a taxi speeding through Istanbul, and last year an intrepid participant sent in a video of her group re-enacting their own version of &#8220;Happy Feet&#8221; on Petermann Island in\u00a0Antarctica.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few great places to dance.
