First Family takes in Ailey performance at Kennedy Center

FISRTFAM

Now you, too, can see the dance company that...the Obamas...saw...on Friday night. No matter how lame my tie-in might be, the fact that the first family checked out Ailey is rather heartwarming. Some parents take their kids to monster truck rallies (not that there's anything wrong with that, ahem). Here's the AP story.

President Carter once gave Cecil Taylor a hug and sang Salt Peanuts with Dizzy Gillespie on The White House lawn, so I don't mean to imply that the Obamas are the only First Family to check out the arts in some breadth. Still it's a refreshing thing.

I almost forgot, you can come see the dance company that the Obamas saw from April 28 to May 3 at Boston's Opera House.
