Houston's most respected hip hop dancers are rehearsing around the clock this week making sure they've got all their new moves nailed down for Dance Houston's 2006 Winter Formal this weekend.

WyldStyL will be unveiling funky fresh new moves with a charming and hilarious holiday theme. Planet Funk's rendition of Scrooge has all the bells and whistles they always spoil us with--but don't be fooled!--these guys really know how to dance! Summer festival crowd-pleasers FLYKiDS will surely put a smile on everyone's face. As a special holiday treat, Dance Houston's Artistic Director Andrea Cody will premiere two works inspired by holiday themes.

The Met brings their fourth annual Quirky Works concert series to the Wortham's Cullen Stage December 16th. They will be joined by Pittsburgh's Eisenhower Dance Ensemble. The Met is bringing back from their repertoire the popular duet "Backbone" with emotional intensity. The concert ends with a phenomenal finale--a brand new piece called "Jolt" by Pointe Park's Keisha Lalama- White that is sure to bring the crowd up and out of their seats.
