WASHINGTON (AP) – In the end, it was a wonder the three massive chandeliers gracing the White House East Room remained intact, given the high-voltage expenditure of human energy taking place beneath them.
Tuesdays inaugural performance of the new White House Dance Series transformed the stately room into a stage for some of the worlds most talented dancers to strut their stuff: Endless pirouettes, gravity-defying leaps, and some crazy one-handed spinning handstands, too.
Hosting the event was Michelle Obama, who brought along daughters Sasha and Malia _ just home from their first day of school _ and mom Marian Robinson, too.
