The dances are taught by well-known instructor Michael Murphy, whose teaching is welcoming, inclusiv …

Well, let’s just dip our toe shoes into the water, here, and see if there’s any balletomania afoot, for a new meetup now. Amid the epoch of “Black Swan" at the movies, and with the Giants having won the World Series (yes, whipping through 32 fouetté turns is almost as hard as hitting a Lincecum fastball), and now the first book ever published about the entire history of ballet (“Apollo’s Angels,” by Jennifer Homans), and, ta-dah, most important of all, with the world-class San Francisco Ballet …

This is a group for contemporary artists in the Silicon Valley area who desire to meet other artists for the sake of fostering artistic community. Silicon Valley is a tough area to work in as a contemporary artist. With the exception of a few galleries and museums, and some small collegial art programs, meeting other artists so as not to be creating is a vacuum is difficult at best. Engaging with other artists is key to sustaining an art practice, both for the purposes of moral support, getting …
