Workout in style at the NC Museum of Art this week

The event, hosted by the American Dance Festival, features prestigious instructors, including dancer and choreographer Monica Bill Barnes and her dancing partner Anna Bass.

As most good workouts do, the Museum Workout will keep you moving, officials said. Participants will dance, stretch and perform other choreographed movements as they visit NCMA works of art selected by collaborator Maira Kalman.

"The Museum Workout disrupts the normally contained museum environment, invigorating participants by creating a physical relationship to the art of the ages," organizers said.
