Dance dominates Dallas … then moves to Cowtown
The Dallas DanceFest will feature lots o’ dance troupes in the Dallas Arts District for its weekend-long display of talent … of which there is plenty in North Texas. But just how much? One of the featured artists, newcomer Chadi El-Khoury (pictured), will be featured both in the Dallas event and as part of the Dark Circles Contemporary Dance show that takes place later in the week (and next weekend) in Fort Worth. That’s staying on your toes.
