So, dancing is back "in" you say. There's a reality show called So You Think You Can Dance that gets great ratings to prove it. There's even a tour: the So You Think You Can Dance Tour 2008, where people can sit and watch salsa, ballroom, hip-hop, street dancing, contemporary, jazz and ballet routines from the TV show--and even a few special ones created just for the tour. Well, we have news for you (that is our job after all). We remember when people were "into" dance because of Flashdance, Dirty Dancing, the Lambada "craze" or the swing dance "revival." It's just another diversion until the next romance novel or pint of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Get up and get down 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie. Tickets are $35 to $54.50. Visit nokiatheatredfw.com or ticketmaster.com for tickets or further information.
Fri., Oct. 10, 7:30 p.m., 2008
