Welcome to On the Radar, where we preview up-and-coming arts events to mark your calendar for. For those (three or four) of you looking for something non-Halloween related to do this weekend, check out The University of South Florida’s School of Theater and Dance Fall Dance Concert, which offers a veritable So You Think You Can Dance episode’s worth of styles.
You can see everything from modern to flamenco-fusion to ballet and swing (albeit no krumping), which puts these students and choreographers on our Hot Tamale Train. In celebration of USF's Day of Dance, the Nov. 5 performance also includes contributions from high school and college students from around the state, who visit to pay tribute to the art of expression through motion.
