March 16, 2012
Seattle Musical Theatre at Magnuson Park
Following the success of the first Dare to Dance in December 2010, there was only one thing to do… a sequel! Featuring a combination of returning and new choreographers, “Dare to Dance 2: Center Stage” unfolded in March 2012 at Seattle Musical Theatre, in front of an audience of 250. With any sequel there is the inevitable pressure. Was the first show a fluke? Or could we continue to build on the Dare to Dance movement? “Dare to Dance 2” was bigger, bolder, and paved the way for the show to become a new annual tradition.
