Editor's Note: The organizing for tonight's group was by Real Live People Party. Check them out for all of your event needs.
Mary and I went to a FANTASTIC show in NYC this past Tuesday night, thanks to Robert Abrams. The name of it was DanceBrazil. It was the best by far of any dance company we've ever seen. It makes River Dance, Burning the Floor, Stomp, etc. look pale compared to the action and dancing in DanceBrazil. They consist of 10 men and one woman and you won't believe what they do. They will be in Connecticut, I believe next week. If you get a chance to see it, don't miss it. I know that they will be leaving for a World tour after the Connecticut show and will be back some time later this year.
