Play it cool


Call me corny, but there’s nothing better than a well-choreographed dance-fight.
Jerome Robbins’ work on West Side Story may be the best. Ever. But Manatee School of the Arts does a wonderful job with the high-energy action of the Jets and the Sharks.
Riff, the leader of the Jets played by John Pikar, embodies the cool-cat style and athletic grace of the dancing scene in Wednesday night’s dress rehearsal.
“Just play it cool, boy.”
They did.
