I rode this new Mid-Coast Trolley extension on its Opening Day and posted photos here. The extension of the trolley’s Blue Line through UC San Diego, which the mobile audience is riding, opened late last year. If they’re sold out, make sure to mark this cool event on your calendar for next year! The dances can be enjoyed this weekend only. If you want to learn more about the Trolley Dances, here’s their website. The dance moves were hopeful, exuberant, triumphant. The dance is dedicated to all students, whose efforts and studies help make the world a better place. The contemporary dance I previewed is called Estudiantes. I was lucky enough to watch one group of dancers rehearsing before the first spectators would arrive. Several of the dances this year take place next to the UCSD Central Campus Station. Mobile groups gather to watch a dance, then ride the trolley to view performances at other locations! The San Diego Dance Theater’s 24th Annual Trolley Dances are being held this year near several trolley Blue Line stations, in and around UC San Diego.įive dances are included in this extremely unique event.

A couple of the artists kindly let me take photos close up. A group of plein air painters were at work today in and near Balboa Park’s rose garden.Īs I wandered through the Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden, I peered over a couple of shoulders to see how different eyes might interpret the nearby beauty, including Balboa Park’s Desert Garden and Florida Canyon.
