Alligator: Kids move with art at Family Day

The Independent Florida Alligator:

Children and families watched as a dancer dropped her orange. A fellow dancer rushed to pick it up for her.

Dressed in blue, UF “Dance in a Suitcase” members silently performed Saturday afternoon at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, moving through the museum entrance. The dancers passed oranges around to each other to show movement in art.

The performance was just one part of Family Day, which was held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The event was free and open to the public, and about 230 people attended.
