Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks is a touching and human comedy about a
formidable retired woman, Lily Harrison, who hires an acerbic dance
instructor, Michael Minetti, to give her private dance lessons -one per week
for six weeks- in her gulf-front condo in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida.
What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an intimate
friendship as these two people from very different backgrounds reveal their
secrets, fears, and joys while dancing the Swing, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot,
Cha-Cha, and Contemporary Dance. Michael and Lily learn to overcome their
outward differences and discover an unlikely but profound connection. By the
final lesson, Lily shares with Michael her most closely guarded secret and
he shares with her his greatest gifts, his loyalty and compassion. A comedy
with music and dance, the play also addresses the serious issues of ageism
and intolerance.

Since its Los Angeles premiere and Broadway opening, Six Dance Lessons In
Six Weeks has been translated into 12 languages and has traversed the globe
with productions in over 20 countries. With over 50 productions and two
national tours in Germany alone, the play has established itself as an
international hit and one of the most produced plays in the world.
