SEGERSTROM CENTER FREE TUESDAY NIGHT DANCE SERIES
03.11.19
Always wanted to learn to dance? Here's your chance! Grab your dancing shoes and head to the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza at Segerstrom Center for the Arts for the new, FREE Tuesday Night Dance Series every week through July 30 at 6:30 p.m.
Each month will be dedicated to a specific dance style taught by expert instructors: Learn Salsa and Bachata (March 5 – March 26) to Broadway (April 2 – 30), Bollywood (May 7 – 28), Country (June 4-25) and Hip Hop (July 2 – 30).
All experience levels are welcome! Each class is from 6:30- 7:30 p.m. - one hour to experience the joy of dance. And if you're hungry, George’s Café will be open for pre- and post- lesson al fresco dinner and beverages.
March is a celebration of Salsa and Bachata taught by OC Salsa instructor Cherry Saimon. Born and raised in Japan, she received early training in the two dance styles and became a prominent dancer in her country. Since relocating to California, Saimon is now a well-respected teacher in the style, teaches dance at OC Salsa in Costa Mesa and Westminster, After Hours dance studio in Costa Mesa, and Original Mikes in Santa Ana, as well as conducting workshops in Chicago and Honolulu.

Melanoma Angel Network Hosts Inaugural Community Gala
03.11.19
The Melanoma Angel Network dedicated to improving the lives of those impacted by melanoma (but inclusive of all types of cancers), is hosting its inaugural community gala at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, March 16 at 5:30 p.m.
Guests will enjoy a blue carpet (consistent with the décor colors of Dodger Stadium), sunset views, an open bar, a gourmet dinner, a silent auction, a live band, and virtual reality exhibit as well as the ability to mingle with special guests. Attire is a fun business. Tickets are $150 and are available for purchase at MelanomaAngelNetwork.org/gala.
The Melanoma Angel Network is focused on supporting the lives of the friends, family, caregivers, loved ones, and the extended community and network of patients affected by cancer.
The organization was founded by a brother and sister pair, Tyler and Tricia Halstead, who know first-hand that the battle with cancer is not only a patient battle. They believe that no one should struggle watching a loved one battling cancer alone. “We know from personal experience how important it is to have an extended community offering support from what we went through when our mother was battling melanoma,” said Tyler Halstead, founder of the Melanoma Angel Network.
The Melanoma Angel Network was founded on three principles: compassion, community, and charity. The inaugural event at Dodger Stadium will launch the organization and celebrate the work done during the 20 years prior to becoming a non-profit.
Dodger Stadium is 1000 Vin Scully Avenue in Los Angeles.
