DT Staff's Favorite Covers of 2013: Tu Dance

by Dance Teacher
December 27, 2013


In the December issue, DT staff reflects on their favorite covers of the year. Joe Sullivan, managing editor, selected May.

“Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands combine modern, ballet and West African in their training, and they bring diversity to the Twin Cities dance offerings.

They’re also a great husband-and-wife team, and they give back to the community, training kids from underserved areas free of charge.”
