 one of the most sensitive movement artists in the rich Twin Cities dance scene. Matt, the founding editor of MNuet.com, a new online magazine for classical music in the Twin Cities, says Rosy Simas Danse concerts are always fresh and innovative while helping audience members get in touch with their own emotions. Rosy Simas Danse performs at the Southern Theater on Sept. 14 and 15.
