  7. CHRP's Jubalee gala

    The sounds of tap dancing filled the air for Jubalee, a gala benefit that opened the 23rd season of the Chicago Human Rhythm Project at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park on Monday. Local and international tap and percussive dance stars filled the stage for the benefit that also honored Susan and Ted Oppenheimer with the JUBA Award. Susan Oppenheimer, a former Chicago Human Rhythm Project board chair, was instrumental in the establishment of the American Rhythm Center in the Fine Arts Building. Ted Oppenheimer is president of the Oppenheimer Family Foundation, which is responsible for the Teacher Incentive Grant program in Chicago Public Schools.

But on Friday the only dark clouds were the ones over the park.
