SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 2003

DanceTime!, Dance Through Time's wildly successful signature show, with an all new cast returns home from its 11th national tour for three performances at the ODC Theater in San Francisco on May 15 and 17, 2003.

DanceTime! has been performed to hundreds of audiences throughout the United States since its creation by world renown dance historian and Dance Through Time founder, Carol Teten. The show's return to San Francisco marks the first time DanceTime! has been performed locally in over 5 years.

DanceTime! is a journey through 500 years of social dancing -- traveling from court to country, ballroom to bistro, salon to street. It's the Volta, Waltz or Tango -- the names may change but once again, boy meets girl and they Dance Through Time. Performed by Dance Through Time's eight professional dancers, DanceTime! is a merry romp through the decades featuring over 40 dances and 100 costume changes.

The 2003 home performances will feature a specially created finale inspired by the movie Matrix Reloaded. Additionally, Thursday, May 15th's performance will include a benefit reception at 6:30 p.m. with the dancers in attendance. The reception celebrates the return of the dancers from national tour and introduces Dance Through Time's new executive director, Ms. Susanna Douthit.

Dance Through Time continues to be a vibrant and unique part of the San Francisco Bay Area arts community. The company is busy planning for a gala performance season with an all new show to celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2005.
