Come see a preview from a few of the 19 dance companies featured in SAN PEDRO ♥ TRI ART Festival on Saturday, August 23 from 12:30-1 pm. Peoples Place San Pedro brings audience participation with Jan Kain and a country western performance with her partner, Steve Lelevier. Jan heads one of San Pedro's most popular dance schools and you can learn most dance styles you can imagine yourself doing at their monthly Swing Peedro with live music or a range of dance classes.
