Found abandoned as a baby in a cardboard box in Wheeling\, WV\, Barb’s life story is one of triumph and purpose. As she says:\n“It doesn’t matter how we start out in life.

Serritella also performs in a variety of shows as a solo act or paired with other co-stars. \nRaised in the Chicago area with a close knit\, large Italian family\, Sinatra recordings were played constantly. Bill developed a deep appreciation for Sinatra’s phrasing\, tone and effortless cool. \nOcean’s Rat Pack was awarded “Best Tribute Band” last fall at the Josie Independent Music Awards — presented on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. \nA Celebration of the Golden Era\nIf the glory days of various artists from the Rat Pack era\nexcite you — then you will love Barb and Bill in “Around Sinatra’s Piano Bar.”\nStep back into a time of elegance\, storytelling\, and unforgettable music — where anything can happen\, and anyone might walk through the door. \n\n\n\n\nWWW\n\n\n\n\nWWW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Producer: BARB BAILEY ENTERTAINMENT | barb.bailey1@gmail.com

Through vibrant choreography\, traditional music\, and regional ensembles\, this performance brings to life the struggles\, hopes\, and resilience of a people fighting for justice\, land\, and freedom. \nThe Mexican Revolution (1910–1920) was more than a political uprising. It was a cultural awakening.

Each dance captures a chapter of history\, blending folkloric traditions with dramatic storytelling to honor the voices of campesinos\, soldaderas\, and visionaries who shaped the nation. \nAudiences will experience the energy of battle\, the sorrow of loss\, and the joy of unity through dynamic footwork\, sweeping skirts\, and live or recorded regional music. The performance highlights how dance served\, and continues to serve\, as a form of resistance\, remembrance\, and celebration within Mexican culture. \nRooted in tradition yet resonant today\, this production also reflects the legacy of the Revolution within Mexican and Mexican American communities\, including those in Chicago. It reminds us that the fight for dignity\, equality\, and cultural pride transcends borders and generations. \nThis event is both an artistic spectacle and an educational experience\, inviting audiences of all ages to connect with history through movement. Ballet Folklórico de Chicago honors the past while inspiring reflection on the enduring power of community\, identity\, and freedom\, told through the universal language of dance. \nAbout Ballet Folklorico de Chicago:

Click on the TAB →  Becoming a Vendor.  \nAbout the JP Sunday Market\nWe started out as the merger of a crew of people wanting to have a Jeff Park market that started a discussion on Everyblock\, plus a couple of us from JPNA with some connections to help get year one off to the quick start it needed\, considering that original discussion was in March—after when many submissions\, etc. are usually already in. \nWith the help of our friends at the Copernicus Foundation who gave us space that first couple of years\, we started a tradition. But that black asphalt in the parking lot made it rough to be out there. So with that experience under our belt\, and some new friends over at the park in the form of the Jefferson Memorial Park Advisory Council\, we renewed our start by moving into the park\, where we got welcome shade and added foot traffic. We been noted by some of our vendors the friendliest market they’ve participated in. That’s something that we love to hear as organizers. \nWe are a 501c3\, and are staffed exclusively by volunteers. \n[ Source:  JPSM Website ] \n\n\n\nCopernicus Center Event Patrons:\n“An inherent risk of exposure to COVID exists in any place where people gather.

From Afro-roots to salsa to jazz\, Conjunto is equally at home at a dance party\, jazz club or festival stage.
