For a toe-tapping good time this weekend, check out the Trolley Dances at various metro stops around San Diego.
The San Diego Dance Theater and Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) will kick off the 20th year Friday of the Trolley Dances.
In honor of two decades of dance, the company let the public decide what performances from the past to reintroduce this year. Voters chose the theme of "homelessness."
"It's a piece about the plight of homelessness," said Beth Calarco, one of the dancers. "And what brought people to that post in life."
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, anyone is welcome to watch six performances from Mission Valley to downtown San Diego.
It will begin at the Hazard Center trolley station and continue along the green and orange lines. Audience members are welcome to partake in a two-hour guided tour.
"It's an unusual format to watch dance," said Calarco. "That's what I like about it. It's unexpected. As a performer, it's fun because we get to interact with a lot of people who don't have any idea a dance show is happening."
Calarco said that means going with the flow when the audience rides the trolley.
"They'll walk through the middle of your show," said Calarco. "You just go with it. That's the part I've always liked about it."
