Michael Wade Simpson trekked through the rain to cover Trolley Dances for the Chronicle:
“A good idea borrowed from San Diego, whose trolley cars are actually a fairly wide-ranging light rail system, and where it practically never rains, had a totally different feel in downtown San Francisco this weekend. Local choreographer-producer Kim Epifano spear-headed the idea of bringing "Trolley Dances" up from Southern California, where she had participated for several years as an artist. Starting indoors at the Main Library's Children's Storytelling Room and traveling in guided groups via trolley to four different locations, ending up on the Embarcadero alongside an empty streetcar, Epifano's idea was to expose new audiences to modern dance. Apparently she didn't count on the possibility of rain, however, or the normal Saturday throngs of shoppers, tourists and regular San Franciscans also competing for spaces on the charming but incommodious F-line trolley cars. Just getting from site to site in a group of 50 was a bit of a struggle.”
