The Museum Workout, Monica Bill Barnes & Company, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

I saw Monica Bill Barnes & Company a few years ago when the troupe performed Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host which I found very entertaining. This experience was just as engaging but in a very different way. About fifteen women gathered before the museum opened and were ushered to the Education Area to put away coats and anything else we'd brought. We were told to wait "and stretch if you like." After a brief introduction from Robbie Saenz de Viteri, the company's Creative Producing Director, we were led to the foot of the great stairs where Monica Bill Barnes and her longtime dance partner, Anna Bass, both in sequined gowns and sneakers, greeted us.
