Renowned dancer, teacher to appear at PBD's benefit in Auburn on Oct. 8
September 10, 2010 · Updated 1:12 PM
Pacific Ballroom Dance is holding an Oct. 8 fundraiser, featuring guest Pierre Dulaine, a prominent ballroom dancer and instructor.
The benefit will begin at 7 p.m. at the PBD's studio, located at 1604 15th St SW, Suite 109, Auburn.
Guests can meet Dulaine, learn some dance steps, enjoy refreshments and support the PBD's social development and arts education program for youth.
Tickets to this fundraiser are $15.
Dulaine invented the Dulaine method of teaching dance. He also created Dancing Classrooms, a social development program for fifth grade children that uses ballroom dancing as a vehicle to change the lives of children and their families.
Dulaine's work has been featured in the award-winning documentary, "Mad Hot Ballroom", and in the feature film, "Take The Lead", starring Antonio Banderas.
PBD, in partnership with Dancing Classrooms, is working to bring ballroom dance into fifth-grade classrooms throughout the Puget Sound region.
Dulaine will be visiting the Seattle area on Oct. 8, teaching fifth grade students at St. Anthony School in Renton.
Last school year, more than 45,000 children were inspired and educated through the Dancing Classrooms program in 500 schools in 19 cities.
