LAST DANCE

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

11 MINUTES LATE ! ! !

THIS OBSERVATIONS FROM THE UNLV DANCE PROGRAM ON CAMPUS...4 PROGRAMS !

JUST GREAT AS USUAL....I REMAIN THE OLDEST AND MOST LOYAL PATRON OF THIS WONDERFUL CONTINUING SERIES OF DANCE PROGRAMS BY UNLV STUDENTS.

ALWAYS FULL SPEED....ALWAYS CREATIVE...ALWAYS GOOD LIGHTING...ALWAYS NEW CREATIVE WORKS...ALWAYS INTERESTING COSTUMES...ALWAYS ENTERTAINING....AND UNFORTUNATELY ALWAYS LATE THE ONLY NEGATIVE TO THE ENTIRE SHOW.

11 PIECES SATURDAY...35 DANCERS TOOK THE CURTAIN CALL...THEY DID IT ALL IN 81 MINUTES WITH A TEN MINUTE INTERMISSION AND NO AIR CONDITIONING IN THE STUDIO ARENA.

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE FINEST HOUR FOR ENTIRE DANCE PROGRAM...IT WAS FOR ME.

SOME EXCEPTIONAL WORKS ALL IN THE 6 TO 9 MINUTE CATEGORY.

CONTINUE ?  COMEDY COLORFUL SPOOF WITH 9 DANCERS IN GREAT CIRCUSESQUE WELL EXCUTED MOVES AND THROWS...DELIGHTFUL.

DESUS EX MACHINA...9 DANCERS IN SHADED LIGHTING ANC COSTUMES TO OPEN THE SHOW AT FULL SPEED...NICE

CAROUSEL...LIKE THE FOURTH OF JULY WHERE THE FINALE INCLUDED LIGHTED REAL SPARKLERS....FIRE ON STAGE IN THE DARK....GOD THE CREATIVITY WAS WONDERFUL....I FEARED THEY WOULD GO OUT TOO SOON BUT THE EXECUTION OF THIS THOUGHT PROCESS WAS PERFECT....WONDERFUL.

I ALWAYS YEARN FOR MORE MALE DANCERS AND FOUR  ALONE DID....CAIN AND ABEL....EXCELLENT....TOLD THE STORY.

THIS ENTIRE SHOW HAD TO BE WELL REHEARSED OTHERWISE IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO WELL EXECUTED....THANK YOU.

I HOPE THE CALL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHEN THE NEXT ONE GOES.

88 B+.......LOST 11 POINTS FOR BEING LATE AND 1 FOR HOT.
