Nancy Rosenbaum is associate producer for American Public Media's "Speaking of Faith," and a dance student and enthusiast. Nancy was floored by a recent hip hop dance show at Patrick's Cabaret in Minneapolis, which is why she's looking forward to "Elements in Translation" at Patrick's this Friday and Saturday at 8pm.
