Every year the dancers at Miami City Ballet collaborate and put together a show called “Our Show” where we take charge of everything from the choreography to the advertising. It ends up being an eclectic mix of different kinds of dance forms ranging from Classical ballet to African dance. I don’t have much time to write because I have another show in a few hours, but I thought I would post a few pictures and a video from rehearsal a few days ago.

Thanks for all the compliments!

Lindsey, I didn’t know it was a Paramore song, so I went to go listen to it after your comment! It was so cool! I really thought that maybe it perhaps wasn’t a cover of anything cause it sounded so good as an instrumental!

Neodancer, here is the link for the youtube video. Enjoy!

The video is great! The dancing by both of you was excellent although I think when you dance in front of an audience Alex your engagement factor goes up. You usually reach out to a live audience like nobody I know. I think you’re a lot gifted and a little cwazy (=special performer).
