of dance anywhere\u00ae<\/span><\/div>\n

Dance moves were busted out across the Bay Area Friday afternoon as dozens of local performers took part in the tenth annual\u00a0<\/span>dance anywhere\u00ae<\/span>,<\/i>\u00a0a simultaneous public dance performance that has participants as far away as Rome and Paris.<\/span> Though the event is supposed to inspire anybody and everybody to shake their stuff anywhere they happen to be, many professional dancers and dance enthusiasts use the opportunity to exhibit their passions to the public at large. For example, in the rotunda of the main branch of the San Francisco Public Library,\u00a0Anne Bluethenthal<\/a>\u00a0and a group of about a dozen dancers from her company performed a choreographed piece centered on literature. Several onlookers leaned along the railings above as the performers mixed live singing with modern dance into a compelling example of performance art.<\/p>\n
