So You Think You Can Dance? TMEDC at CCFA Symposium

Today, The Monocle Eclectic Dance Company's Founder and Artistic Director, Katie Burrows, taught two fantastic groups of kids and teens at the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's 18th Annual Symposium in Skokie, IL. Not only did these groups dance and have a good time, but they also caught on quickly to a hip hop routine, and even shared some of their own fantastic moves! Below, we'd like to proudly share footage from today's workshop:
