When the De La Cruz Family Danced by Donna Miscolta
The subject of this literary work touches on the immigrant story and what happens when one leaves and returns to his roots. The years that pass and the distance across bodies of water do not affect the characters' ability to recognize himself in others and to re-experience his heritage from different viewpoints.

Ballroom dancers & Literature brought to life. 




Independent arts producers and creatives contribute greatly to the fiber of society when they are met with resources and space to create and collaborate on innovations. Visit Seattle.
