Dance for a Reason 2012

Tonight for my Hip Hop 1 class I had to go to a community dance performance and later will have to write a paper about it. Not sure what kind of paper but I'll jump that hurdle when I come to it......but I thought I'd share with you guys how the night went!!

So first I want to let you in on a little background with Dance for a Reason....every year they do this show and all proceeds go to help a program in our community that is there to help others. This year it was for DanceAbility International and the show included preformances by ZAPP, Oregon Ballet Academy and the Eugene Youth Ballet!!

Below are a couple pictures I took.....it was really too dark most the time to take pictures but I got a couple to share......

This is the crowd waiting to get into the lower levels.....
I was up in balcony seating!

This is what it looked like from the balcony.....
super scary aye?

This is my ticket and a copy of the flier I picked up.
Perfect for the scrapbook!!

There were a ton of great performances tonight but I have to say that Monsters Religion by Work Dance Company had to be my favorite! It was to Sceibe/Judas by Lady Gaga and it was electric. They had a video playing in the background that I only caught bits and pieces of because the performance was so great. And they interacted with the audience in a way......by using the whole stage and at the end even coming off the stage into the isles.

Another favorite was preformed by the Bounce Gymnastics and Circus Art Center. It starts off with a girl on the ground near a teddy bear with a white cloth hanging from the ceiling. She gets up and does a ton of aerial stunts using the cloth......it was crazy and beautiful. My hear skipped a beat every time she plunged down.....and she ended slowly curling down the cloth to the floor. It was fantastic!!

But that was sorta what I did with my night!! If you weren't there and are local, you missed out!!

As always thanx for reading <3
