‘To the Sea’ returns to Santa Monica Pier

Jacob Jonas The Company festivalJacob Jonas The Company—the 21st Century dance company that quickly gained attention for its blend of contemporary ballet, breakdance and acrobatic movement—will bring back its new event To the Sea: Dance Concerts on the Pier this weekend.
