Their precision is fantastic. Can’t decide if the poor video adds or detracts from the overall effect.

BENISE – Salsa Salsa, posted with vodpod
I’ve seen that Ads all month around town about Nights of Fire! opening this week at the El Dorado and it had me curious.
“Benise – Nights of Fire!” will light up the Eldorado Showroom January 24 through April 1, 2012. Hailed as the Latin Riverdance by the LA Times, this world music and dance production takes audience members on an exotic journey through Brazilian samba, Cuban salsa, Spanish flamenco, Argentine tango, even African tribal chants and drums.
In spite of the LA Times proclaimed “Hail as the Latin Riverdance,” I’m still intrigued. Looks like it might be fun.

FRESH BAKIN’ PRESENTS BEATS ANTIQUE
FRIDAY, MAY 13 AT 8PM (Grand Theatre)
“From under the shelter of world acoustic music’s canopy, live electronica has bred a new beast built of brass band and glitch, dubstep and glockenspiel: the musical trio Beats Antique.
The journey that led to Beats Antique was a winding and twisted path from the San Francisco bay area, to the ancient trade routes of the Silk Road. The influence of their phenomenon spans centuries, with a long line of musical history and innovation behind every note and gesture. In this modern incarnation, the musical alliance of producers David Satori and Tommy Cappel is inspired and emphasized by their collaborative partnership with world-renowned belly dance performer and music producer Zoe Jakes. All of this sets the scene for Beats Antique’s overtly ambitious stage show, a sensory overload conquest of the festival circuit’s most riotous events, such as Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits festival, and Outside Lands.”

The best birthday gift to myself -ever- was running off to Sacramento last night to see Hot Pot Studio’s Spring Student Showcase that featured intro students in Fusion and Improv classes, as well as Unmata’s Street Team, and Verbatim troupes, and the inimitably awesome UNMATA.
It was stellar! Each and every one of the performers was fab, and we were witness to a beautiful brand new choreographic piece performed by everyone together.
Drove home in pure dance elation. Thank you Amy, Shelly, Rebecca, Sarah, Natasha, Lorenzo, and all our Hot Pot friends! And Lee Ann, Gemi, Margie, and Mona for being my birthday dates. The Best!!
