When I was young, my mother dragged me kicking and screaming to dance lessons, she dressed me in a furry mink coat and I got beat up because of all this. It wasn't until she took me to see a show from Jacob's Pillow Dance Theater that I really enjoy dance lessons because the dancers were so athletic and I saw them as true athlete that I got good and my mom put me in  advance ballet class where I got in more fights but by then I started hurting those that picked on me and so my mother punish me by taking away my dance lessons. If I knew I had to win my fights to get out of dance class, I would have done it earlier. But, that was then and this is now.

And after many years, Jacob's Pillow still puts on an amazing show. Just a couple of phone calls while working on the east coast and I was able to get some  tickets and we watch and was captivated by the shear athleticism and beauty of emotions in motion. It is good to see a national landmark still has fire and energy to give to audiences.

Jacob's Pillow is the longest dance festival with it's history connected to the underground railroad and famous dancers and dance from all over the world and bills itself as the only dance institution to be named a National Historic Landmark. Mom would be happy that I dragged my friends kicking and screaming and then watch as they was awed by the wonderful show by amazing dancers. I hope I get to see more shows by Jacob's Pillow when I visit my bro on the east coast.
