Synopsis:
Six Dance Lessons in Six
Weeks is a touching and
human comedy about a formidable retired woman, Lily Harrison, who hires an
acerbic dance instructor, Michael Minetti, to give her private dance
lessons—one per week for six weeks— in her gulf-front condo in St. Petersburg
Beach, Florida. What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an
intimate friendship as these two people from very different backgrounds reveal
their secrets, fears, and joys while dancing the Swing, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot,
Cha-Cha, and Contemporary Dance. Michael and Lily learn to overcome their
outward differences and discover an unlikely but profound connection. By the
final lesson, Lily shares with Michael her most closely guarded secret and he
shares with her his greatest gifts, his loyalty and compassion. A comedy with
music and dance, the play also addresses the serious issues of ageism and
intolerance.
Since its Los Angeles
premiere and Broadway opening, Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks has
been translated into 12 languages and has traversed the globe with productions
in over 20 countries. With over 50 productions and two national tours in
Germany alone, the play has established itself as an international hit and one
of the most produced plays in the world.
