San Diego Dance Theater performs Trolley Dances at City College.
The Trolley Dances, a unique event put on by the San Diego Dance Theater, is being held this year at downtown’s City College. I live a short walk away, so I figured I’d head that way this morning before it became too hot. (We’re experiencing mild but very toasty Santa Ana weather here in Southern California.) I thought that perhaps I could snap a few pics as a casual bystander.
The Trolley Dances involves a mobile audience, which walks from venue to venue. The dances are staged in some of the most unexpected public places. Every year the locations change.
I was successful! These photos are of the third “stage” of the 2014 Trolley Dances…

It seems that after watching several dances around City College, the audiences boarded a trolley at the nearby station and headed out to a shopping mall for more dancing. I read the entire Trolley Dance experience was two and a half hours! That might’ve been a little long for me!

I’ve never heard of such a concept! It is great how it gets the audience involved and also introduces people to the trolley.
