As any good skater knows, one good turn around the track deserves another. So it is with Skate! A Night at the Rink, Forklift Danceworks’ roller-skating party disguised as a modern dance show. The original two-night run last summer (“‘Skate!: A Night at the Rink’: Heaven on Wheels,” July 18, 2008) was a huge hit (see the Chronicle’s review, “Skate! A Night at the Rink,” Aug. 1, 2008), so Forklift Artistic Director Allison Orr is giving her cast of Playland Skate Center regulars another run to show us how dazzlingly they dance. Two nights only! Thursday, March 5, 8pm, and Sunday, March 8, 7pm, at Playland Skate Center, 8822 McCann. For more information, call 474-8497 or visit www.forkliftdanceworks.org.
