Connect with San Diego's heritage of being a border community by touring the Blue Line with the Jean Isaacs San Diego Dance Theater for the 11th Annual Trolley Dances. Dances along the way will enlighten and inspire.

Where: Along Blue Line Trolley stations

When: September 26 & 27 and October 3 & 4. They will host six performances per day starting at 10 a.m. The first tour of each day is bilingual.

Check in is at the Bayfront E Street Trolley Station in Chula Vista.

The audience, led by volunteer guides, will get on and off the Trolley at specific stations to view the dances. Each dance is original and in some way responds to the physical environment or interprets the culture, history or intended use of the outdoor location.

San Diego Dance Theater Artistic Director/Choreographer Jean Isaacs is excited to team with the Metropolitan Transit System and Coca-Cola once again.

"I want to celebrate the bi-cultural nature of San Diego and the South Bay and help demystify the border,” Isaacs said.

Trolley Dances 2009 visits unique locations along the Trolley line with stops/performances at Palomar Street in Chula Vista and the San Ysidro Transit Center. The dances will showcase the work of an international slate of choreographers, including: Peter Chu from Santa Monica, California; Miroslava Wilson from Tijuana, Mexico; Elfi Schafer-Schäfroth from Zurich, Switzerland; and Kim Epifano from San Francisco, California.

Patrons are encouraged to take the Blue Line from Old Town. Free parking is plentiful. Good walking shoes and a sense of adventure is encouraged. For ticket information, visit www.sandiegodancetheater.org.
