We have never forgotten your performance. You ended up in our town in 2004 or 5 quite by accident when the show scheduled canceled and you were kind enough to cover. We almost didn't go as we had never heard of you. But wanting to spend time together, my son and I thought to take the risk. OMG, an unexpected artistic blessing was bestowed on us. Your performance was unforgettable; still deeply engrained in our hearts and mind's eye, I have never been so moved in my entire life. Not before, not since. You, in one evening, destroyed all other production companies for us. No one has ever come close to doing what you did. I still remember a number you did in which the music was made with the dancers' feet. A primal drumming captivating the audience; spell binding, dominating our hearts, sweeping away our minds, transporting us out of reality in one sole sweeping wisp of the longest breath ever. Quite suddenly and very unexpectedly, moved on the wave of emotion and swept away by the passion, in the middle, my son and I caught ourselves standing, wildly screaming as though cheering on the winning horse at the races, furiously applauding with all our might without realization of what we were doing; upon sudden awareness of our interruption, we stopped to look at each other stunned by our behavior, to realize the whole house was doing the same causing us to resume until all exhausted. Once the audience stopped the beating of our hands and seated again, the performance resumed concluding ever more powerfully on a mystical hypnotic harmonious beat which can only be described as a transcendental performing arts experience laying the soul to rest in heaven, hushing the mind and heart as such grace and beauty could have only been performed by angels. I will never forget my son and I witnessed magic created by dancers' feet, and will never fail to appreciate the moment I will always remember as a performance which moved heaven and earth. Thank you for the moment. 💚🙏💚

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.

I really liked the small snippet but I feel the dancers were under rehearsed and the girls should all wear their hair the same way. From a long time dance teacher. But I enjoyed the style and the choreography.

just here to say I LOVE that dancers are finally getting freedom of expression and girls no longer have to all wear their hair the same way ❤️
