On April 17th, 2008, we had the grand opportunity to perform with our newly seasoned Soma Beats dancers, led by Johnna MacDougall. What a blast it was! Johnna did her Bird Dance solo to Gidamba and then the Soma Beats dancers took to the floor for their rendition of Djole. Lou, our only male dancer, said that he is really inspired by the drumming and he loves to dance! One of our newest dancers, Shir, a college professor, just joined on a few weeks ago and already is one of our performers! Most of our other dancers have had experience in dance or yoga and in fact, Mimi Frantz, a local yoga professional choreographed James and Karen's gold winning skating program at the Adult National figure skating championships this month. Watch our video!
