Big

by Beth Obermeyer

Big! World Records in the Streets! Plus Tap Dancing Galore! goes backstage with dancer Mary Beth Obermeyer as she shows what it's like to solo with Garrison Keillor, Christopher Plummer and Gregory Hines. She also brings dancing to the streets for a half dozen world records--including the World's Largest Marching Band (2,512;) the six-mile Bucket Brigade on Lake Street; the World's Longest Chorus Line, all in Minneapolis; and Leapfrogging in Frogtown; the Mass Break Dance (7,000+) and the one that changed her life, the first Minnesota Festival of the Book, all in St. Paul. And you won't want to miss any of those Out-Takes!
