SAN FRANCISCO, March 5, 2010—Who’s the better athlete: dancers or sports stars? The members of ODC/Dance, San Francisco’s internationally acclaimed contemporary dance company, and top student-athletes at UC Berkeley go “toe to toe” for the fourth time to answer that vexing question. This year’s benefit event in support of ODC Dance Commons and Cal Athletics will be held on Thursday, April 29, 2010 at Herbst Pavilion, Fort Mason Center.
In the various tests of strength, speed, agility, and endurance, ODC has bested Cal two years out of three, leading many to believe that dancers have it over athletes. But this year, coming off their victory in Toe to Toe Round 3, Cal plans to stay on top with a line-up of some of its fiercest student-athletes. They will compete against the ODC dancers in a number of challenging events. (Past events have included gut busters, the three-legged sprint, the “Duck and Dive” relay, and “Table for Four,” in which each team has to balance in backbends, heads resting on one another’s legs.) The evening climaxes with Cal athletes and ODC dancers coming together in choreography à la ABC network’s “Dancing with the Stars.” This year’s team dances will showcase ODC with Cal Women’s Swimming and Volleyball, Men’s Water Polo and Women’s Soccer.
