MISSION—You're going to exercise this weekend, right? Why not do it for a good cause? ODC's Rhythm and Motion program is leading a 3-hour class on Saturday, February 8, from 12 to 3pm at the Women's Building at 3543 18th Street to benefit the Stand Tall Education Network. Stand Tall helps build schools and educate children in disadvantaged areas around the world. Don't worry, you won't be dancing for three hours straight. There will also be eating, drinking and socializing! Registration is $25 and all proceeds go towards the charity.
