Dance for a Dollar it’s a perfect show
to celebrate with the Woman Who Knows Best, aka
your Mom!  This Sunday, May 12th
is Mother’s Day, bring your mom to Dance for a Dollar! 

The
show is filled with stories based on the lives of the women who dance for money
in NYC nightclubs. Interviewed by creators Daniel Jáquez and Mariana Carreño
King, many of these women had immigrated to the States to create better lives
for their families, leaving behind the comforts of a familiar way of life for
the promise of opportunity.  At the
nightclubs in Queens, Daniel and Mariana spoke with a woman whose daughter was
also dancing in the club that night. 
Another said her daughter would not follow in her footsteps.  A third recounted the
story of her crossing through the desert to create a better life for herself
and her baby.  Unfortunately her son died
crossing the dessert into the US.   These stories are woven with music and
dance, and the strength of women’s hearts to survive and thrive even in the
most challenging circumstances.
