Ever wonder why someone could love two people so much?  This performance takes you through the ups and downs of three close friends and one that is selfish of the time the other two spend. A feisty tale of back and forth and who gets the girl.

Revolve Dance Company
Choreographer: Wes Veldink
Dancers: Amy Cain, Dawn Dippel, Matt Dippel, Sarah Radocay, Allison Stanley, Jennifer Stricklin, Jane Thayer, Jessica Thayer
Music: Consequence of Sound, Regina Spektor

This piece is a light-hearted and energetic look at the “consequence of sound”.  We have become very good at distracting ourselves from silence - speaking when we are uncomfortable, and playing music to escape.  But it is in the silence that discovery can be found. – Wes Veldink

Our Deepest Fears
Urban Souls
Choreographer: Harrison Guy/ Walter Hull
Dancers (in order of appearance): Tanya T. Jones, Donnie Johnson, Dwayne Cook, Rachel Eckroth, Justin Prescott, Jadie Gill

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Caña
Spanish Institute of Dance
Choreographer: Melissa Cruz
Dancer: Laura Uribe
Music: Caña / Jeronimo Segura & Juan Mª Real
The Caña is one of the original palos (or styles) of flamenco and considered to be one of the purest.  This song contains a series of moans that have been incorporated from the influences of the Gregorian Monks.  The more widely known palo, Solea, is very closely related.
Rainbow After the Rain
Dance of Asian America
Choreographer: Janie Yao
Dancer: Jocelyn Lo
Music: Contemporary Chinese Fusion
This contemporary dance combines complex modern and Chinese dance techniques.  Like the movements, the music harmoniously fuses instruments from both the east and the west.  This dance begins on a rainy day where a young girl awakens in the prime of her youth.  Through the harsh rain, she learns the meaning of life, its hardships and the beauty that lies within the rainbow after the rain.
