Shall We Dance (1937)

In a whirlwind of mistaken identities and tangled emotions, a ballet dancer named Pete falls head over heels for the elusive musical star Linda. Amidst misunderstandings and a web of rumors, their journey intertwines on a New York-bound boat. As they navigate a series of mishaps and misperceptions, their feelings grow—but so does the chaos surrounding their supposed marriage. Amidst scandal and heartache, they find their way back together through the power of dance and undeniable connection.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
