Dance Enthusiast to Host 8th Anniversary Party at Gibney Dance, 10/13

Bring dancers, children and friends to the family-friendly DANCE ENTHUSIAST's 2nd Enthusiast Event - an evening of creativity, fun, education, dance performances, and mingling, October 13 at the Gibney Dance Center. The event is a cross between a salon performance and a party at your best friend's home, offering audiences of all ages an extraordinary entrée to the passion and creativity in dance. Both kids and adults will have opportunities to participate in dance and visual art projects. AND - It's also the 8th Birthday Party, complete with yummy birthday cake, for The Dance Enthusiast, an ever-expanding, ever-creative non-profit, NYC-based dance journalism website that is leading an exuberant revolution in dance communication.

Founder/Editor-in-Chief Christine Jowers is a firm believer in the power of the arts to bring people together. "What better way," she remarked, "is there to be introduced to the power of art than to bring families together to meet, speak, and create with world-class artists? Meaningful experiences like these are vital to building lifelong relationships to the arts."

Special guests:

* the one-of-a-kind CHRYBABY COZIE, founder of LiteFeet Nation - hub of the new direction in Hip-Hop

* THE BROOKLYN BALLET, directed by Lynn Parkerson, reflecting a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural approach to ballet, with a

* HU BING, Chinese-American creator who shapes environments from shattered glass, revealing the beauty in what has been

destroyed - making ethereal installations out of debris
