The Music Center Plaza in downtown wants you to come down next Saturday and strike a pose — there's nothing to it.
The venue is hosting an all-day "Taste of Dance CRAZES." For a single dollar, you can spend 20 minutes learning a dance craze of your choosing. You can go old school with the Charleston or try Beyonce's "Single Ladies" dance (leotard, not included). Or you can spend all day learning all twelve dances from an 80's dance lesson at 11 a.m. until a Bollywood lesson wraps up at 4 p.m.
