From pirouettes to award winning choreography, fellow Seattleite to be recognized at Cipriani in New York City.

I’ve had the privilege of interviewing Olivier Wevers, Artistic Director of the Seattle dance company Whim W’Him, in the past and was thrilled to hear the news about his most recent exciting milestone: being awarded a 2011 Princess Grace Choreography Fellowship.

After years on the road touring, writing and filming, our favorite local hip-hop duo is back on the scene.

With their new album Cinemetropolis, Blue Scholars are kicking-off their first headlining tour in Seattle at the Showbox  on September 17th, and fans have a greater interest in this album not only because of the time passed between their last release, but because many have personally paid for this one to be created.

Come and rediscover Seattle’s oldest neighborhood.
