Liana, congratulations on putting together an amazing show with such beautiful and talented women! It was a delight to see so many wonderful women on stage! And sweetie, you had a glow around you all night! That beautiful belly of yours was a perfect addition to the stage! Congratulations!!!
The rest of the show was a joy to watch and you could tell by the zagareets going around the crowd! I was so excited to be a part of the group supporting you! Even your announcers were perfect. Such sweet and caressing voices, great job on finding those two! =)
The costumes, the stage, everything was perfect! Way to go! It was such a treat to be in that audience! Thank you!!!

Your husband did a great job running the music, we had an awesome stage manager and the stage decorations put up by Mirage were so beautiful. And as always, it is great to see our beautiful and talented Alaska dance community performing. And what a treat to see Aradia...wow!

Re: What a SHOW!!!
Sat, April 12, 2008 - 12:05 PMSandra deserves a gold medal and her name in lights as stage manager extraordinaire!
I can't wait to see the video as I missed everything except the tail end of Aradia's final performance (LOVED the belly drum solo!)!!! So much I know I would have loved...everything really. Ivy...I love how you move and would have loved to see the knife dance (caught a glimpse of the beginning before your knifes were unsheathed) and your beautiful partner's debut. Katie...I saw a draft of your metamorphisis dance and it really touched my soul...would have loved to see it in completion under the lights. Mirage...everything you guys touch is GOLDEN! AB...I loved the wings dance at AFF...really would love to see the "Caw Caw" version. Scheherazade, the glimpse I saw of your opening number was lyrical and gorgeous. Liana, you looked beautiful. I always love Artem and his beautiful sister! We did really miss the beautiful Fairbanks women and their offerings...I hope they truly escaped the car crash without injury. I think I am forgetting some folks but it is an oversight and not that I don't wish I could have seen you dance.
It was really beautiful seeing all you amazing performers in the audience as well. How cool of you to support the show! The triple Jo's, Kim and Darcie, the original Ciccia Bellas, Miss Bobbie, and so many more.
Liana, I hope you are resting. Those of us who have put on workshops and shows know the work involved behind the scenes. Thanks for your efforts! You made it a very stress free affair for participants. -

Re: What a SHOW!!!
Sat, April 12, 2008 - 1:35 PMit was the most fantastic show i have seen (i dont get to see many). i am always amazed at how much talent is in our small community!!
i dont have much to add after reading melissa's post except Danielle - your solo was breathtaking!! it reminds me of you pulling a string thru the music notes, my heart is always a little sad when the music ends - it wants the vision to go on!!!
melissa the cicchia bella girls were awesome!! the music was foot tapping - the choreography was spectacular going with the theme of your story and the music.
thank you all for a wonderful night!!

Re: What a SHOW!!!
Sat, April 12, 2008 - 11:55 AMWOW! WOW WOW! Show after show it is just so amazing. Liana, with you being pregnant with twins, bedridden most of the time - looks like your answer for help came screeching to your side. WOW means "We Only Win" when it comes to the whole dance community meshing together for a WOW show. -

Re: What a SHOW!!!
Sat, April 12, 2008 - 6:23 PMIt was a wonderful show with a flair all its own! I was excited to be front and center and in one of the roudy rows! YEAH!! It is so amazing to be on the other end, watching and seeing all the magic, beauty and essence from the audience. Liana, your husband was grinning from ear to ear, he was so proud of you and your effort. Here's to Liana resting, letting mama help and letting those beautiful little girls rest up for THEIR grand entrance!! PS...The Ladies in the 2 roudy rows....I was moved to CA CA CA CAWW by the end of the evening over cheesecake and chocolate . I never want to sit anywhere else. It would just not be the same. -

Re: What a SHOW!!!
Sat, April 12, 2008 - 8:24 PMThe show was fantastic! I saw most of it by standing in the wings of the stage but, unfortunately missed some of the performances. Did you say there is going to be a video of the show? Who do I contact for that information?
Thanks to everyone who came to the show and for "munchies" afterward at Fiori d'Italia.
Cheers Ladies! -

Re: What a SHOW!!!
Sat, April 12, 2008 - 10:09 PMCongratulations Liana and Company!
I'm so very sorry to have missed this show, it sounds like it was one for the record books.
I am now an "official" member of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary AND I can now give you all "Rescue Breaths" AND Chest Compressions!
I can also wrap a bandage around your head, arm or foot and set you up in a splint if you need one (in style of course).
I would love a dvd should they become available.
