Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks at Alchemy Theatre

Come out to Alchemy Theatre’s Geneva Kent Center for the Arts this August for an evening of heartfelt humor and unexpected friendship where, step by step, connection blossoms. Directed by Brian Cook, this poignant play runs for one weekend, August 22 to August 24, 2025, at 7:30pm Friday and Saturday, 2:30pm on Sunday.

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.
