Dancing the night away

“Shake ya groove thang, shake ya groove thang yeah yeah…shake it shake it.”
That was the song that kept playing over and over in my head throughout the entire Fall Dance concert.
I arrived to the concert in a bad mood, thinking I was not going to make it again.
I had gone Thursday and Friday, but on both days the tickets were already sold out by the time I got there.
So here I was again on Saturday trying to make get in once more and I was running late.
Fortunately, I made it and boy was I glad I did.
That fall concert was awesome!!!!!
The performers, the settings, the choreography, the music, the lighting, even the tickets left me with my jaw open, amazed, and definitely wanting more.
My favorite I would have to say was dance “Goldlings Materialized”, performed by Junji Dezaki, Kana Miyamoto, and Kenji Yamaguchi.
The music itself brought a creepy and god-like feeling to the atmosphere.
Not only that, but the main dancer totally creeped me out.
Because of him, I left home trying to repeatedly move my arms back and forth to see if I could get them to look the least bit great as it did when he did it.
The first two minutes of the rountine dealt with just the movement of his arms and his fingers.
I think that alone left me completely bedazzled.
The dance continued though, and so my amazement increased.
I thought I had had enough with the way the main dancer who played “Necromancer” danced.
“Celestial Nymph” as she was named, just stole the show for me.
She did this move where she did a back role then landed into a split.
You would think that she would end the split after a few seconds, but no.
This woman continued to stay in her split and crawled toward the front of the stage with her elbows.
Let me tell you, I was in gymnastics so I know how painful is it to maintain a split for even a few seconds.
Seeing this woman hold it for as long as she did and still continue to crawl forward AND topping it off with making it look like a natural dance, just left me in awe.
That dance was simply beautiful.
In was beautiful in every way, shape, and form.
