Great News! Raina Rose will be returning to Prescott in April to put on another amazing performance. Speaking of performances we have had four amazing shows in the past five days. The first being the art show with beautiful paintings, photographs, still life and even a dress up box model. She had a treasure chest full of belly dancing bells, fur(not real of course) coats, make up/body paint, tape, bubble wrap and wacky thingermabobs. She had a sign that read
"dress me up and then pose me." She was a big hit at the show. After the art show the comedy group did stand up, improv., monologues, and skits. I was laughing so hard that my laugh was in silent mode. on saturday evening the African Inspired dance class put on a colorful show. they had made their own costumes-orange, red, yellow, bright blues and greens with tribal make up accentuating their smiles and energy. they danced to a tribal drum circle; one guy was drumming so hard he put a whole in the drum! Towards the end of the show one of the dancers did a solo...to Michael Jackson's "Beat it." When the show had finished the dancers went into the audience inviting the crowd th join them to the African beats. it was the most beautiful dance performance i had ever been to. Lastly, the dance & improv. class danced to the 5 rhythms and put on a poetic performance. We have a strong dance community here in Prescott and everyone is welcome. Tuesday evenings we have a free African dance jam with a drum circle known as Village Life- so check it out!
Happy Holidays!!!!!!!
