Directed by Broadway’s Jeff Whiting (Bullets Over Broadway, The Scottsboro Boys, Big Fish), TO DANCE is a new musical about acclaimed Russian Jewish ballet dancer, Valery Panov. Set in Cold War Russia, TO DANCE recounts the real life story of one man who refused to let the KGB take away his freedom of expression--Valery was born to dance!
