This year, Anna participated in dance anywhere\u00ae and explored a new location for performance: Woodlands Market, a supermarket near her home in Kentfield, CA. &#8220;We danced at our local grocery store where old, young college students, mothers with babies come to shop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4246\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH.jpg\" width=\"533\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH-120x74.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH-480x299.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anna Halprin<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As the clock struck 12 noon, Anna and her friends and dance students took over the produce section at Woodlands Market. The dancers performed a happy and celebratory dance improv to &#8220;Happy&#8221; by Pharell Williams and &#8220;Wanna Be Startin&#8217; Something&#8221; by Michael Jackson. The dancers used props from their surroundings to highlight their dance. Anna danced with pineapple, one of her dance students sang into a banana phone and another dancer juggled oranges. The dancers were accompanied by shoppers and employees. &#8220;Some people joined, others clapped to the music and everyone &#8211; especially the employees, kept time to the music&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><div style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4242\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH5.jpg\" width=\"533\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH5.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH5-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH5-120x94.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH5-480x377.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anna Halprin<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4245\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH2.jpg\" width=\"533\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH2.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH2-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH2-120x98.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.danceanywhere.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/AH2-480x395.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anna Halprin<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Anna decided to participate in dance anywhere\u00ae because she was excited by the idea of dancers around the world joining in a moment of dance. \u201cI think dance anywhere\u00ae is a wonderful event.
