- And I'm Dave Wagner, also with WRCJ.
Cecilia, can't wait for the weekend.
So what's on your radar?
- Well, I think I have something up my sleeve Dave.
The State Ballet of Georgia performs at the Detroit Opera House this Saturday and Sunday in downtown Detroit.
This dynamic ensemble dances with the program featuring music by Bach, Tchaikovsky and Georgian folk melodies.
- Fair, that's cool, you know, I always wondered with ballet dancers that are on their toes, why don't they just get taller ballet dancers?
(laughing) - Dave!
Are you or do you know a dancer between the ages of eight and 21?
Then we encourage you or them to head over to the auditions for The Carr Center Summer Dance Intensive, in partnership with the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.
Auditions are being held Sunday, April 30th from noon until 4pm at the Detroit School of Arts.
The doors open at 11:15am.
Cecilia, we have so many talented dancers in the cities.
Do you dance?
- Well, I've taken a few dance classes, a little bit of tap and jazz.
- [Dave] Nice!
- And ballet, but I didn't have the tall shoes.
- Okay.
- [Cecelia] You still have a couple days left to go see the classic musical, "Annie," at the Fisher Theater.
You can see it through Sunday April 30th at 7:30pm or go for the matinee Saturday or Sunday at 2pm.
I think my favorite song of the musical is, - [Dave] Oh yeah.
- [Cecilia] It's a hard knock life but really all the songs are so enjoyable.
- [Dave] And we can't forget that it's Jazz Appreciation Month.
So if you're in the mood for some great jazz this weekend, come on down to the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe.
- [Cecelia] And this Saturday, April 29th at 1:00pm, the Detroit Public Library celebrates Cinco de Mayo at the Detroit Public Library main branch on Woodward Avenue, across from the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Kids can make an ojo de dios or dream catcher and also participate in other hands-on activities to celebrate Mexican culture.
- [Dave] Fantastic.
- [Cecilia] Yes.
Sounds like an interesting mix of things to check out.
- A great weekend here in Detroit.
- And here's more of what's happening ahead.
Hope to see you around.
Have a wonderful weekend.
