The Petworth Dance Project starts this Saturday in the lawn at the Petworth Park (801 Taylor St NW, along 8th St).

If you like dance and you like Petworth, then this was made just for you. It's free, so come out and support the arts and hang with yer neighbors.

Below is their announcement:

"We are 5 days away from the first round of dance performances from our PDP artists! Bring your family and friends and come to meet new ones, as you relax and watch the lawn at the Petworth Recreation Center be transformed and taken over by some of the best DC dance has to offer, Maru Montero Dance Company (ballet folklorico), Motion X Dance DC (contemporary), and Rick Westerkamp with DancEthos (modern)...and that's just the first show!! Plus, don't forget the Petworth Jazz Project's music series will begin on Saturday, May 30th. Lots of FREE concerts in your own backyard! See you there!"
