About

Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks – comedy / drama by Richard Alfieri.

“Very moving. Very Human. Very Funny”

Lily is ensconced in a South Florida high rise for retirees. To ease her loneliness, she signs on for a series of private dance lessons only to find that her handsome instructor, Michael, is a prickly pear with a short fuse and self-censoring issues.

Antagonism between the two gives way to profound compatibility as they swing, tango, foxtrot and cha-cha while sharing more than dance steps.

During the sixth and final lesson, she shares a closely guarded secret and he shares his greatest gifts.

Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks is that rare bird – a story that gives equal weight to both the trials of growing old and the regrets of youth. It’s an authentic, poignant, often quite funny piece that has an ageless appeal.
