Dave Matthews' new video features Tacoman

By weeklyvolcano on September 5, 2007

So there you were at the Dave Matthews Band show at the Gorge on Sunday night â€" the last of three packed shows at the Eastern Washington outdoor amphitheater.  A huge monitor shows Dave’s latest project, a song called “Eh Hee,” and you thought, that’s pretty groovy.  Whoa, check out those dancers!

You thought one looked familiar?  Yep, you got it right, it was Kate Monthy of Tacoma’s MLKBallet, working with choreographer Zoe Scofield and other dancers she regularly performs with on the Tacoma School of the Arts stage during “MOVE!” performances.

If you didn’t go to the Gorge, then you can download the video free, for a limited time, on iTunes, and check out some absolutely stunning dance. Maybe even become inspired to sign up for adult ballet at MLKBallet for the fall session starting Sept. 18 â€"  if only to be in the same room with a person who’s met Dave up close and personal.

Contact MLKBallet at 253.906.2190 for more information on classes and schedules or go to www.mlkballet.org to find out more about the organization that seeks to bring a world-class dance program to Tacoma. â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
