January is traditionally one of the slowest times of the year when it comes to social events. 

That said, it’s not the case this weekend. It’s full of music, movies and dancing. 

Today, editorial director Mary Cashiola and newsletter editor Bianca Phillips talk about “The Magic of Motown,” “it girls” of art, films about running, films with puppets, blacksmithing classes, line dancing and transcendent dancing. 

Everything you need, really.
