An Eye for Dance brings you an insightful look into dance performances and the arts in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Through the discerning eye of veteran dance critic, Aimée Ts'ao, you will discover new ways of looking at dance.  As a dancer, choreographer, teacher and critic, she brings an insider's perspective to ways of thinking about the art of movement.
