I’ve seen bike racks used for lots of things…but this was the first time I had seen them used as balance bar for dance.

Dancing with Long Beach and the Dorcas Roman Dance Theater bring dance demonstrations to public spaces throughout the city of Long Beach. On a Friday afternoon I found Dorcas Roman, the artistic director for the dance company, and one of her students preparing for a weekend presentation that would culminate with a presentation on the Belmont Pier…using the “sail shaped” bike racks as props in their dance routine.
