WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is attending his youngest daughter’s dance recital at an arts center in suburban Maryland.

A White House official says 11-year-old Sasha Obama’s recital is being performed Saturday evening at the Music Center at Strathmore.

Located in North Bethesda, Md., about a half-mile outside the capital beltway, Strathmore is a nonprofit arts center that hosts events and classes.
