Waukesha JanBoree

Came across this on the web and thought I would share.

The Waukesha Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department announces the 23rd annual Waukesha JanBoree will take place Friday, Jan. 18 through Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008. The three-day festival, occurring throughout Waukesha County, will offer more than 30 free winter activities for adults and children alike.

The theme for southeastern Wisconsin's premier winter festival is "Gotta' Dance" where snow and winter events will abound with a touch of Hollywood. "Dancing is the universal language of fun," said Sue Harter, Waukesha Parks, Recreation & Forestry Supervisor and JanBoree organizer. "We'll have plenty of opportunities for people to enjoy many styles of dance at the JanBoree this year and even some opportunities to learn all of those steps you never thought you could."

The JanBoree will kick off with the opening ceremony on Friday, January 18 at Lowell Park, 2201 Michigan Avenue, from 4 to 6:00 p.m. with a live broadcast on TODAY'S TMJ4 with Chief Meteorologist John Malan.

On Friday, Jan.18, the dancing kicks off with "Jump Up,' A Kinetic Koncert for Kids."
On Saturday, Jan. 19 teens in grades seven through 12 can warm up with some faced paced dancing entertainment from 1 until 3:00 p.m. at the Public Library Teen Zone, 831 North Grand Avenue, during "Dance Dance Revolution." Families and JanBoree-goers of all ages will be sure to enjoy "Dancin' at the Pix" at the Waukesha Civic Theatre, 264 West Main Street, from 1 until 3:30 p.m. Many varieties of dance will be represented during this show including ballet, ballroom, hip hop, jazz, and tap. Audience members will have the opportunity to win free dance lessons from the studio of their choice.

The Radio Disney Street Jam will take place from 1 until 2:00 p.m. also on Saturday at the Schuetze Recreation Center, 1120 Baxter Street. Audience members will dance up a storm in the theme of High School Musical. All of these events are free and open to the public.
On Sunday, Jan. 20 go to "the windy hill" better know as the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha and get ready to learn all the avenues of dance for free! Check the web site for a complete listing of dance styles and times.
