To Dance or Not to Dance

On Tuesday July 13, at 7:00 pm the Raytown Branch will be hosting Breakdancing with Kacico Dance.

Your Library @ Riverside

Rock is so much fun. That's what it's all about - filling up the chest cavities and empty kneecaps and elbows. - Jimi Hendrix

The performance of the Cool Cats Rock and Roll Accordian Band at Riverside was fun. With an audience ranging in age from a few months to senior citizens, we witnessed toe tapping, hand clapping, free style dancing and singing (remember the song. Y.M.C.A.? )

If you missed this program, we have lots of others coming up. Click here for more programs.

A Post-4th of July Patriotic Treat at the Library!

The fireworks may end when the holiday does, but that doesn't mean you can't still have some fun afterwards. Treat yourself to the songs and dancing of American Rhythm, a multi-talented group of young singers and dancers. We invite you to join them as they sing and dance to our nation's most popular patriotic songs at the Excelsior Springs Branch.  This program promises to be good wholesome fun for the whole family.

On February 19th, I had the opportunity to attend a performance of the Kansas City Ballet at the new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. As timeless as Romeo and Juliet is, it gains new dimension when expressed through dance. The set, orchestra, and choreography worked together to create an experience that was far greater than its individual parts.
