Billy Larson, East Coast Movement at Dancin' Downtown at The Joyce

The first annual Dancin Downtown at The Joyce raised $26,955 for Dancers Responding to AIDS (DRA). Produced by DRA and The Joyce, the event presented dance schools the opportunity to perform on the world famous stage of The Joyce Theater. Billy Larson talks about his experience with DRA and why this opportunity is valuable to him and his students at East Coast Movement. Their dance, "Game of Life" won the 2009 Presentation Award.
