Free of Style Dance Convention in Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh, PA, October 30, 2007 -- Social change group "5LMT LLC" will be hosting an unprecedented dance event where Pittsburgh-area locals and visitors can meet their favorite choreographers and dancers in a 2-day instructional dance workshop focusing around the expression of dance called "Freestyle." With 14 of the dance industry's top instructors, each teaching a segment in the weekend-long workshop, 5LMT founder and CEO Frank Denbow hopes to inspire confidence and the spirit of free expression in all attendees. The live music event after the first day of classes will benefit a local Pittsburgh charity, TASK, a non-profit 8th grade mentoring group.
"I wanted to do something interesting and fun, as well as help the community in a big way," says Denbow. "There are many area youth who are passionate about dance and hip-hop, and this convention seemed like the perfect fit with what TASK is about… I hope we can reach out and teach a lot of youth how to be better dancers, as well as better people in society because they can apply the same confidence required to dance in other aspects of their daily lives.
