DANCEPRANCEPRIME

50 dancers, 15 dances
Choreography by Anthony Guerra

Saturday June 29, 8 pm
Fairview Library Theatre, Fairview Mall
North East corner of Shepphard & Don Mills (behind Sears department store)

Brunswick Theatre: This week we are featuring the Free The Cuban Five Film Festival, among other titles. Please check out the below listings and consider attending. Please note – the hosts for the festival changed mid-month, meaning that it was initially
promoted as free for members, but the change in the host has created some confusion. Members are still very much encouraged to attend, but will be asked for a small donation at the door of $2 – $5. This is not mandatory, but would be
much appreciated.
