The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago has been hosting The A.W.A.R.D. Show this week (A.W.A.R.D. standing for Artists With Audiences Responding to Dance). The premise is simple. Beginning Wednesday the 24th, every night there was a concert of dance from various independent artists and companies. At the end of the concert the audience voted on their favorites. Finalists advanced to tonight's concert where the audience will again vote to choose a winner. The grand prize is $10,000, which is no chump change to working artists. The finals are tonight at 8pm at the Dance Center (1306 S Michigan) so get out and show your support for htis awesome project. The A.W.A.R.D.
