Standing outside the Lincoln Theatre yesterday, Broadway dancer Maurice Hines burst into fluid and flexible moves — his feet lightly tapping on the pavement, hips swirling and arms gracefully twisting in the air.
Hines, 65, plans to spread the same energy inside the 550-seat, 80-year-old theater on the Near East Side. He will begin his term as artistic director in residence in the spring of 2009, when the historic theater reopens after a $12 million face-lift.
His efforts in behalf of the arts community will get under way this week: Hines will teach master dance classes today and Wednesday in the Ohio Theatre. He will also take part in a question-and-answer session tonight in the King Arts Complex.
