Sunday December 21st, 2008 we went to a spectacular private holiday party where the stage and yard were set with beautiful lighting designed by Jeremy Choate and all sorts of other holiday cheer. 

Dancers Mario, Jaramillo, Joel Martinez, Chris Gamez CoolCutz in SuckerPunch couture all of dance group Urge Works, Zheng Yifan, Mao Xian Fang [both of Dance of Asia America], Mike Baerga with Jessica Salvato and contortionist Olesya Webb gave some pretty amazing performances!

On this clear, cool night, you could see every star in the sky. Yet the real stars were the dancers.

Brrr…avo!

On the chilliest night so far this winter, Dance Houston assembled some of the city’s hottest dancers to perform on Discovery Green’s outdoor stage. Some of Dance Houston’s regular performers – Revolve Dance Company, Wyld Styl, Sabor Mexico, and FLY Dance – put their best feet forward and enthralled the crowd with their always outstanding work. Sixteen other companies showcased the incredible diversity of Houston’s dance community. Of particular note were Cookie Joe Dance Company’s fancy free “Sneaker Night” street jazz piece, Houston Swing Dance Society’s lively lindy hop piece, and  Freneticore’s quirky “Donde Viven Los Monstrous” modern piece. A large crowd braved the night until its bitterly cold end – their hearts (if not their bodies) warmed by the sight of these delightful dancers.
