Inspired by the likes of Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly, and Eleanor Powell, the evening will put a song in the hearts of concertgoers and have them dancing in the aisles!
“In addition to marveling at the seemingly limitless gifts of the two singer/dancers, we got to revel in some of the greatest music ever composed.”
