Daily Kup (My Life as a Dance Fan)A longstanding family tradition is attending the annual performances of the Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater. This group of talented local dancers has the mission of enhancing cultural understanding in Minnesota by showcasing the ethnic dance traditions of China. The performances feature colorful and richly-detailed costumes from China and are narrated in both English and Mandarin.

We are grateful to our friend and superb dancer, Lucy, for introducing us to the performances of this outstanding group. Even my sports-crazy son sits still through the whole program. As he is becoming more cognizant of his ethnic and racial identity, he is decidedly open in his appreciation for being in a large crowd where more people look a little like him than do not.

For a joyful, educational and reasonably-priced evening of entertainment, check out the Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater and their productions at the Brady Educational Center at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. The neighborhood surrounding the St. Thomas camus is rich in unique eating establishments.

A few weeks ago, we discovered the Blue Door Pub and its signature Juicy Blucy hamburgers. This local landmark was featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Kollege Kid had seen the show where the barrel-like and trendily-coiffed Guy Fieri sampled the spam bites, an appetizer breaded and deep-fried spam, cream cheese and pickle. It sounds awful but tastes great.
