MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA—This day-long celebration features two

separate events: An afternoon of great food, kid-centered activities and performances, and

a silent auction. Then on to an evening of performances by some of the Twin Cities’

finest dance talent and a Hipshaker Dance Party.

The entire event is a benefit for Krista Langberg, Terry Chance, and their family.

Krista, a longtime member of the Minnesota dance community, and her husband

Terry are both battling cancer. This event is a 100% volunteer effort, including the

generous contribution of the Southern Theater as a venue. All donations go directly to

Krista and Terry and their family.

Krista’ s dancing lit up the Zenon Dance Company and the New Dance Ensemble

Laboratory in the 1980’ s and 90’ s. She then left for New York, where she danced with

Susan Marshall & Company. Krista and Terry returned to Minnesota in 2003 where they

have been raising their two daughters, Ava and Zaiga, ages 9 and 7. Terry started Site

Assembly (www.siteassembly.com) a small-volume construction company specializing

in unique, high quality residential and commercial building projects.

Meanwhile Krista joined the faculty of Macalester College, continued performing in

the works of local choreographers, created her own work, and helped out with Terry’ s

business. Terry was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2009, and Krista with breast cancer a

few months ago. Their friends and colleagues have organized this benefit.

The FAM I LY FRI ENDLY DAY is the perfect way to give both kids and parents a hip

holiday kick-off. While the event is free, there will be opportunities to donate through

food and art purchases and silent auction donations. Chef prepared food by the likes of

Lucia Watson of Lucia’ s and Alex Roberts of Restaurant Alma and Brasa should satisfy

grown-up appetites, while family activities include cooking workshops and films for kids.

Silent auction items include countless gift certificates to top quality theater events, shops

and restaurants (The Jungle Theater, Alma, Brasa, Gallery 360 and more!). And there

will be plenty of live music.

The EVENI NG EVENT blasts off with performances by Zenon, Hijack, Karen

Sherman, Mad King Thomas, Morgan Thorson, Chris Schlichting, Jane Shockley,

Mathew Janczeski, and the films of Phil Harder. Then it’ s Everybody Dance to hipster

Greg Waletski spinning Vintage 60’ s and 70’ s Soul and Funk until 11 PM.
