Update for San Diego Trolley Dances:
My teenage daughter and I went to the September 27 Trolley Dances in south San Diego to fulfill a live performance requirement for her high school dance class. Since the Coaster doesn't run on Sundays, we drove to the Old Town transit center, parked for free on the street (the lot was full with San Diego Chargers fans), and took the trolley to the first stop: E Street Chula Vista. Note that had we driven to Chula Vista we wouldn't have had to pay the small trolley fare...but we preferred to relax. We enjoyed six different dances at several different locations along the trolley stops, but our favorite by far was the one we call "The Bus" and the choreographer called "Chico"-this was a joyous and innovative piece of dance with a current sound. Besides, when a yellow VW Bus is a prop, how could it not be fun. Tips: Bring water, wear comfortable shoes & sunscreen. Enjoy some innovative, outdoor dance in San Diego...but now you'll have to wait until 2010 for the 12th annual Trolley Dances.
