Palatine Dance will present two performances of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” at 4:00pm and 7:00pm on Saturday, December 1 at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center, 150 E. Wood Street, Palatine. Throughout each performance, Cindy-Lou Who, Max the Dog, and even the Mouses will be tapping, leaping, and turning to help the Grinch find the true meaning of the season.

Choreographers include Dance Manager and Company Director Becky Lugovsky, Assistant Dance Manager Katherine Siegle, Company Choreographer Leah Kolcz, and Holiday Class Choreographer Marlena Osterhues. These instructors have created pieces set to a variety of music from “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” to “Run, Run Rudolph” to “Please Come Home for Christmas.”
