Dance event hosts famed performance duo

It�s that time of the season for the UW Dance Program � no, not turkey and stuffing season, not even hunting season � Fall Faculty Concert season. Bustling with preparations and long rehearsals for the 20 to 30 students expected to perform, Lathrop Hall has had the honor for the past two weeks of hosting guest artists-in-residence, Toronto modern dance choreographers, teachers, filmmakers and co-directors of company Kaeja d�Dance, Allen and Karen Kaeja. Catching up with Allen in a cozy coffee-shop corner, he talks jovially about making the transition from combat sports to dance, teaching and how fatherhood affected his dance life.
