THE WORKSHOPS

this event was put on by Sonya and it was very well done and organized. thank you for being such a lovely hostess and much thanks to all the people who helped check us in, told us where the bathrooms were, gave us our information packets, fed us etc...

let me start out by saying that if you get the chance to take a workshop with zoe, don't delay..REGISTER IMMEDIATELY! she was a great teacher and i loved the technique and concepts she taught. she has a very unique style and the concepts are user friendly. she was very specific and hilarious in her teaching style and was just cool in general. you will not only leave with new concepts for your dance but you will also leave with you butt significantly kicked...but in a good way. it was a very motivating experience.

THE SHOW

Pava's Gems- they took the indigo's manman choreography and added a bit of a twist. very sassy and i loved the costumes

Moxie- loved the veil work mixed with the pops a locks

Tribal Corps- sssSSSSssssoooooooooo slinky

Marci Ann- loved the look, the music and the moves

Jezebelly- what can i say...its tribal done AWESOME.

Lisha- loved the moves...especially the ones with the hair and the "rock star" walk

Sarah Mayne- awesome drum solo. clear, concise and fluid and she looked like she was having a good time while doing it.

DarK Flower Gypsies- i just love the fact that they are mother and daughter. it was adorable but in that creepy/goth sort of way.

Andreana- beautiful.

Sonya- she did veil poi and double veil....need i say more. it was awesome. i just stood there with my jaw hitting the floor.

Hipnotic- again, need a say more...my jaw was still on the floor.

Danielle- i LOVED the song and the piece was Wundabar!!

Khivan- awesome song, awesome concept, awesome moves

Megan Hartmann- she rocked it with a sword like no other.

Ro-He- beautiful piece. i loved the masks.

Zoe- ok really, what can i say? this woman has got the stuff. she has an amazing presence on stage and her moves are stunning.

Much thanks to Khimari who was a hilarious and energetic MC, to Linda Flores for doing make up back stage, photographer, Jerry Barmore and Mati Johnson on sound and lights and Gregory blacker, videographer.
