“We all know ‘girls you know you just want to have fun, so we invite all the gals out there to grab your guy, tight roll your best acid washed jeans, and walk like an Egyptian to Emerald Coast Theatre Company’s awesome ‘80s Rewind Dance Party fundraiser,” said event co-chair Lorraine Christen, who owns Rise Dance Center.

The performing arts is all about expression and gives us all a chance to celebrate life. Now, here is the perfect place and time to channel your inner ‘80s era drama queen with some dancing and music to boot. I hope to see everyone break it down on the dance floor,” said ECTC producing artistic director Nathanael Fisher.
