SHOWS AND ENTERTAINMENT
By DanceInTimeProductions

Are you arranging dance entertainment?

DanceInTimeProductions creates unique Latin, Ballroom, and/or Swing shows for all types of venues.  Some of our shows are described below to give readers an idea of the kinds of programs we've run.  But we are extremely flexible and can design original programs to suit any need.  This includes not only major stage shows, but also private parties, church, school, or office  functions---you name it!

Are you a dancer interested in performing?

If you are a Salsa dancer in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore/ Virginia area interested in performing, feel free to write Barb or call 301-464-6244.  We train advanced dancers for shows and arrange collaborations with other Latin performing groups and couples.  It would be nice to hear from you!

Kennedy Center Show

On March 23, 2003, we produced a Millennium Stage show for the Kennedy Center located in Washington, DC. This was part of their annual AmericArtes Festival.  Here briefly are the components of that show:  We explained the underlying rhythms and history of a variety of Latin dances including Salsa, Rumba, Cha Cha, Merengue, and Casino Rueda.  Son and Cuban Rumba were also illustrated for the audience. 

      The program concluded with flashy dance performances and the audience was asked to identify which dance they were watching.  To help them discern the different dances, a booklet with basic information on each dance was given out to all audience members.

    You can watch this entire one hour show right on your computer screen and read the Kennedy Center's written program for that night.  All you have to do is click on the link below, scroll down, and click again where it says:  "Play this performance."

Verizon Center Show

We did a Salsa performance at Washington's Verizon Center on January 30, 04 with roughly 70 Salsa dancers!!  This included three Rueda groups from Richmond to NY and a number of excellent Salsa performing groups (see below) and individual couples.  We all danced together on stage at this 20,000 seat arena in the Nation's Capitol! To see a short video of this show, click here*. Our show provided entertainment at a National Basketball Association game between quarters for their "Latin Night."  Read an article about this remarkable performance.

2007 Miami Salsa Congress

DanceInTime taught an intermediate level Rueda de Casino workshop and performed an extended version of their Charlie's Angels routine with a blend of Salsa and Cha Cha music at the 2007 Miami Salsa Congress. Photos are on this page. Enjoy.

Benefit Show for the United Nations

On August 26, 2004, members of DanceInTimeProductions and SalsaWild performed together at a United Nations fundraiser in Washington, DC. We did two Rueda presentations. One of these included original steps designed by Heidy Garcia-Robinson from SalsaWild. Some of these steps blended flashy ladies' styling with Rueda moves; others were entirely original. It was a dynamite Rueda presentation thanks to Heidy's outstanding style and imagination. A video clip with some of these original moves can be seen on this website by clicking here. Click here to view the group moves and individual moves.

Show at the "Free Library of Philadelphia"

On October 17, 2004, DanceInTimeProductions arranged a unique hour-long show which included members of five different Rueda groups. The groups came from NY, NJ, PA, and MD. They performed seamlessly on stage in a big Rueda circle. In addition, Latin dances such as Merengue, Bachata, and Cha Cha, were performed and explained briefly. There are photos from the show on this website. Click here to see a video clip of this show.

Washington D. C. Convention Center Show

Another dance program was put together for the Washington, DC Convention Center (December 30, 2002).  We began with demonstrations of seven different Latin and swing  dances: Salsa, Rumba, Cha Cha, Merengue, Single Swing, Triple Swing, and West Coast Swing.  During each dance, a voice-over described the history and provided some general information about that dance. These voice-overs are original summaries of how dance developed in this country and others, including how one dance evolved into another.

Then a Rueda circle was performed by several couples, followed by some dazzling Latin and swing performances.  And finally, we taught members of the audience who wished to join us in a merengue lesson!!  A good time was had by all.

First Night Annapolis/ 2004, 2005 and 2006

This spectacular New Year's Eve celebration down by the dock is the largest entertainment event every year in the state of Maryland.  The entire dock area is lit up with lights and literally hundreds of entertainers of all sorts perform there!  The evening closes with a beautiful fireworks display over the water.  On Dec. 31, 2004 some members of DanceInTimeProductions, SonInMotion plus Tom Bui and his partner Rebecca, all joined hands to provide seven sets of dance entertainment at the event's "Latin Quarter." 

This included Rueda performances and a routine by SonInMotion in which they "told a story" through dance, blending belly dancing with Salsa!  There were also fabulous dance demonstrations by very talented couples, workshops explaining the differences between Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue and Cha Cha, group and "mini" private lessons for interested members of the audience, as well as a dance contest with prizes!  We coordinated with Grupo Latino, a Latin band, so we could perform to their live music and dance with the crowd during the general dancing. 

The Latin Quarter was a hit; everyone had lots of fun.  Tim Darst and Kenny from SonInMotion did a great job in helping to coordinate the entertainment and set up a sound system with "disco lights" so the dancing could continue between the band's sets. 

On Dec. 31, 2005, DanceInTime was back with more performances, instruction, and open dancing. We taught Salsa, Merengue, and Cha Cha and did performances of both theater arts-style Salsa and Casino Rueda.  Tom and Wendy dazzled the crowd with their Salsa acrobatics and flashy lifts and drops. 

DJ Andy spun the music, performed with Barb of DanceInTime, and played percussion over his great music!  It was a delight to have such a versatile musician/dancer work the show.  Andy prepares the music that is used to teach Salsa at the Arthur Murray studios in Puerto Rico, where he is from.  He has a couple of CDs for sale that are great for dancing and can be reached through the email that is provided at the bottom of this page. 

That year, the Latin Quarter was so popular that the line to get in went around the building and visitors could only stay for one set so that others would get a chance to participate, too!  Some photos of the performances and performers are on this page.

National Zoo's Hispanic Festival

DIT performed at this festival in both 2002 and 2003.  On Sept 21, 2003, an extensive show was arranged for the National Zoo's Annual Hispanic Festival in the heart of Washington, DC.  Casino Rueda groups from Virginia, Washington, Baltimore, and New York were invited to join in this Latin Dance performance. We entertained for three hours, demonstrating many Latin dances from Bachata to Rumba. There were Ruedas with over 40 dancers, performance choreographies, and instruction/lessons in basic Salsa, followed by general dancing that included the audience.  The show ended with a fabulous, flashy Salsa routine by the Salsumba Dance Company!

Mexican Cultural Institute

A major show was also produced on November 14, 2003 for the Mexican Cultural Institute, which is the cultural arm of the Mexican Embassy in Washington, DC. Some of the music that we danced to in the show was from Mexican bands since the purpose of the Institute is to promote the arts of Mexico. Performances included Salsa, Casino Rueda, Rumba, Merengue, and Cha Cha. (Interestingly, "Cha Cha" is called "Cha Cha Cha" in Mexico!)

In addition to these modern Latin dances, we performed and explained the structure of Danzon, which is a dance that developed in the late 1800's that ultimately evolved into Salsa. One of the few places where Danzon is still popular today is Mexico.

Finally at the conclusion of that show, we taught a Salsa class and danced with members of the audience.  It's always fun for audiences and performers to "join hands" and dance together after a short lesson.  Telemundo, a Spanish television station, filmed this event. They interviewed Barb and some other performers for a segment that aired on television a couple of days later!

Part 2

On February 18, 2005, the format for a multi-city Casino Rueda performance was launched at a Timba (Cuban Salsa) Party in Philadelphia.   The event featured a live Timba band and was conceived as part of an effort to make Timba music, which is extremely rhythmic and lively, more well-known in this country.  Members of Rueda groups from Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and the Washington D.C. area all danced together to a single song in a joint presentation. 

The Boston group, CubanSalsaBoston, danced in their own circle, flanked by the other dancers doing Rueda moves behind them in a line that was curved to be almost a semi-circle.  When the Boston group was done with their individual presentation, they moved into the line and the next group, Casineros Unidos" from NJ came out for their individual presentation.  They were followed by DanceInTime, the D.C./Va/Baltimore area group which also included Athena and Josh of Philadelphia ("Salsita Dance Studio").  After presentations by each group, we moved into a large circle and all danced together.

This format enabled groups to perform their favorite moves individually with their own caller but also have the excitement of a large group dancing together.  It went smoothly, and was a lot of fun! 

Some people from the TV show "Wild About Philly" interviewed us after the performance for a clip on their TV show.  We referred to the Rueda dancers who performed together as the "CasinoRuedaConnection" in that interview.  That seems to be a fitting name for Rueda groups that work out an original approach to a joint Rueda presentation! 

Metro D.C. Dance Awards Program

On May 26, 2005, an event was held to mark the end of this year's nomination period for the Metro D.C's Annual Awards.  A variety of dance performances were presented by different groups at the beautiful Mexican Cultural Institute.  DanceInTime closed the program with some Latin dancing.  Then we taught Salsa moves to the audience, which was followed by some general dancing. 

The Latin dance entertainment began with Professor Jim Lepore, from George Mason University, doing a Cuban Rumba with Tiana Paschel.  Then four aditional dancers joined them for a Casino Rueda presentation.  Among the performers was Fabio Bonini, a member of the American Dance Montage which is affiliated with the Alliance Dance Institute.  Barb Bernstein, Amanda Gill, and Fabio Bonini worked together to illustrate basic Salsa moves in the instructional part of the program. This was a great way to conclude a lively program with many varied forms of dance!

Woodrow Wilson Plaza Show

On August 3, 2005, a Latin Dance show was provided for the Woodrow Wilson Plaza, right outside the Ronald Reagan Building in the heart of Washington D.C.  This included some members of Dance In Time along with some of the members of the American Dance Montage (Michele Kearney, Susan Cox, Fabio Bonini and Doug Reynolds).

 Mr. Frank Regan, a ballroom champion with countless honors to his name and Director of the American Dance Montage, was kind enough to allow his beautiful Mambo, Bolero, and Swing choreographies to be used in this show.  These routines are complete with colorful costumes that match the era when the dance became popular, and a blend of classic music associated with each dance.  Thanks, Frank, for the use of these gorgeous routines.

In addition, the show included some Cha Cha, Merengue, and Rumba. And all of the performers joined together for a couple of Casino Rueda demonstrations.  In the final dance segment, a Rueda circle moved into a line and then an incredibly flashy solo Salsa presentation by Doug Reynolds and Michele Kearney was embedded in the Rueda and thrilled the crowd.  Click here to see video clips of this great show!

Performances of the DIT Women's Team

On May 1st, 2005, the Women's Team from DanceInTime did their debut performance at the annual Caribbean Fest held at Prince Georges Community College.  With new, eye-catching costumes and a dynamite routine that the group worked out, this team did a great presentation and then followed up with instruction for the audience. Click below to see video of this performance.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

This team went on to do many other routines and shows all over the area, and they are scheduled for a Miami show at the Salsa Congress there in August 07.  They performed at the Women in Salsa show featuring all women's teams in the spring of 2006 and 2007 (with their "Rebellion" and "Charlie's Angels" routine respectively). Check out the video clips of these routines below!  (You will note that in some of our routines, we have included one or two men as needed to tell our story.)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Part 1 Part 2

In addition, they danced in the Washington D.C. Salsa Congress show in June of 2005, 2006, and 2007; at the 25th Anniversary of a huge Latin Festival in Baltimore called "Latino Fest" in the June, 2005; at the Barking Dog nightclub in Bethesda MD on 11/29/05, and at South Beach Nightclub in Bethesda in June of 06. They also performed at the Bethesda Dance Studio's monthly party in late 2006, Zanzibar's Nightclub on Jan 10, 07, the Clavekazi Studio party and at Ocean Drive Nightclub both in March, 07, as well as at a number of Hispanic Heritage/Women's Equality Day celebrations for private parties and government offices. Some video of the Women's Team is below, and there are photos on both that page and this one from shows and rehearsals.

The most recent women's team routine is a medley with a variety of dance styles, closing with a Polynesian piece.  Check it out:

Rueda de Casino Performances

Many of the performances that DIT does include Rueda demos.  Here are pieces of a dance presentation at the 2008 DC Rueda Congress held at Glen Echo Park.

Performing at Congresses

The "women's team" (which has also included men at various times) presented their Charlie's Angels routine at the DC Congress.  You can watch that below.

Part 1 Part 2

They also prepared an extended version of their Charlie's Angels routine with five women and one man, doing both Salsa and Cha Cha blended together.  That presentation was made at the Miami Salsa Congress 2007 and it was very well received, as it included everything from humor, to a jump-rope trick, and telling a story through dance with a surprise ending!  Check out the photos from that show.  A series of pictures from this show is on the Miami Salsa Congress page of this website.

Dancing With the Stars:  Fun and Games at Varied Venues!

A number of different venues have opted to have DanceInTime run a Dancing with the Stars-style competition at an event.  These are a lot of fun!  It works as follows:  Male contestants dance with one of the women in our dance group and female contestants dance with one of the men.  Then the audience claps for the contestant and the volume of the audience's applause determines the winner. 

We have done these contests at a number of different venues including FirstNightAnnapolis, Prince Georges Community College, and a corporate picnic for the EZ Storage company.  They always prove to be lots of fun as everyone cheers on their friends when they compete! Sometimes there is also a panel of judges, just as in the TV show. The judges rate the contestants on a one to ten scale and explained their score.  It was really hilarious. These contests are a popular addition now to the entertainment roster.

But surely the most intriguing and extensive Dancing with the Stars competition was that at the Bowie Baysox game (a minor league baseball team).  There, real local celebrities competed during breaks in the game.  They were taught by DanceInTime dancers during the first six innings of the game in a back room.  Both stars, Dan Steinberg, a well known sports writer for the Washington Post, and Brian van de Graaff, a meterologist and TV weatherman for ABC News, learned some fancy Merengue steps and performed a short routine with the teachers. 

We all had an absolutely wonderful time.  The training session couldn't have been more fun for the teachers---and we think the stars got a kick out of it too.  Both celebrities were followed by cameramen who recorded their learning period, the performance, and more.  So DanceInTime was featured on both Comcast Sports channel and the ABC News on July 23, 2007, airing footage of the competition, some interviews of the dancers, etc.

A good time was had by all, and I do believe the celebrities learned some very nice Latin dance maneuvers!!   To see Dan's hilarious blog about the experience and watch him dance on youtube, go the the "DanceInTime on TV" page of this website.

Hispanic Heritage Month Celebrations and Other Events in the Private Sector and at Government Offices.

During Hispanic Heritage Month (which runs from mid-September to mid-October), DanceInTime has produced every year many lunch-time shows for various government offices and branches of the service including army bases like Fort Meade, the Army's Test and Evaluation Office, the Army Research Lab, Walter Reed Medical Center, and the National Defense University, Government Accountability Office, etc. We have also performed at non government offices such as the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. Generally these shows involve either one couple or a group that does an array of Latin dance performances to lively music and in some cases also teaches.  To make a nice display of materials, some informational booklets on Latin dance published by DanceInTime are provided along with other materials.

On May 16, 2006, the Maryland Department of Health and Human Hygiene had the kick-off event for a Wellness Fair that featured Latin Dance instruction and performances.  Click here to see dance demonstrations by Barb and Glen at this event:

DIT was hired to entertain at an unusual venue to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month in 2007.  The Tally Ho Theater in Leesburg, VA had a celebration featuring not only Hispanic-themed movies, but also various entertainment. DIT was hired to perform a team dance and teach Salsa and Merengue prior to each movie showing on the evening that kicked off this celebration.  We literally taught on the movie theater stage!

World Dance Festival/DanceDCFestival

A big weekend dance event was sponsored every year starting in 2005 by the Maryland Community College system. It includes shows, workshops, and dance demonstrations of all sorts.  DanceInTime has been asked to teach and/or perform and/or at this event each year. The presentations below were intended to be educational as well as entertaining from a workshop presentation at that event. Click here to see videos:

Part 6

Though a completely different event, the DanceDCFestival (which is sponsored by the D.C. Commission on Arts and Humanities) is themed similarly to the World Dance Festival. Both focus on dance styles from all over the world and present a dazzling display of varied dances.  Interestingly, these events are some of the most exciting for performers to participate in, because they are thrilled to watch dancers from other groups and see very different styles of dance. 

At the DanceDCFestival in the fall of 2006, we did among other things, a Rueda presentation that told the story of a wedding.  Immediately before our show, there was a middle eastern dance presentation on exactly the same theme!!   You can watch some clips from this show on the "Performance Videos" page of this website. In 2007, DIT was asked to run a dance event at a club for this festival----with performances, instruction, and open dancing! 

Cinco de Mayo Celebrations

In addition to providing entertainment for Hispanic Heritage celebrations, DanceInTime has done many shows for Cinco de Mayo parties and festivals.  In May of 2006, a couple from DIT performed and taught both adults and children at a church Cinco de Mayo festival, as well as a private party celebration.  In May of 2007, two performance teams from DIT joined forces to entertain at two events over the Cinco de Mayo weekend.  One was a "company picnic" and the other was a large festival at Prince Georges Community College.  In both cases, lessons were offered and there were team performances.

U. S. National Dance Championships

International Dance Productions sponsored a weekend event at a hotel near Washington that featured workshops, competitions, and shows for all sorts of partnership dancing.  Barb judged some of the competitions, ran Salsa Rueda workshops, and danced with a group at the Saturday night Gala on Oct. 8, 2005.  They had a wonderful show on Sat night in which different dancers simulated movie scenes that featured the dancing.  So a local tango expert, Fabio Bonini, did a tango scene from Scent of a Woman, and a hustle dancer did a scene from Saturday Night Fever, etc. 

Barb Bernstein put together a simulation of the nightclub scene from Dance With Me that features a Rueda circle.  It was a great show!  There were 20 dancers on the floor, some in the Rueda and some outside, just as in the movie scene.  The music was the same song they danced to in the movie and many of the same Rueda moves were used. 

But what made it really fun was that the scene was so lively; DanceInTime got to imitate one of the happiest, liveliest dance scenes in the movies!  There were many top notch Salsa and Rueda dancers in this show which was very well received, and the producers are working with networks to get it on some TV channel!

DanceInTime was invited to teach and perform again at this annual event in the fall of 2006.  We did a Salsa shine presentation followed by a Rueda circle in the evening show, plus a workshop in the afternoon that weekend. 

Performing Other Dance Styles Besides Latin

DIT did something very unique on 11/2/07.  The SPCA held a formal fund-raiser at the Westin, an upscale hotel in Annapolis.  Their theme was "Putting on the Ritz."  They wanted a tap dance performance like the one done to that song by Fred Astaire in the movie with the same name.  So DIT found a professional tap dancer who dressed in top hat and tails, and choreographed a presentation to the song, Putting on the Ritz.  And then several tap dancers did another performance together followed by Latin dancers presenting Salsa, Cha Cha and Merengue.  Check out the performance videos page of this website for video clips of this unique show, and for another unique performance, click here for a short clip of Polynesian dancing by DanceInTime, featuring Sheena Luaehu

DanceInTime's director has professional affiliations with directors of groups that do other dance styles.  So if you are interested in blending Latin with other forms of dance, or just want something totally different, DanceInTime is happy to accommodate such requests.

Wedding Showers, School and Church Programs, Outward Bound Fundraiser, and Other Special Events

DIT has been privileged to teach and perform at a number of school programs at all levels.  On May 6, 07, Barb and Mr. Mambo (Tommy Smith) did a Salsa demonstration and taught at Prince Georges Community College.  In April, 07, Barb and Glen did likewise at Bowie State University.  In April 06 a program was also run with a Salsa demonstration and lesson at Indian Creek High School.  There was also an informal lesson and demonstration provided for an Outward Bound fundraiser in March 07.  In fall of 2006, DIT was hired by Goucher College to entertain at a Salsa party-Orientation event for entering freshmen.  The entering class had a blast!  We've also done shows at the Community College of Baltimore, at the Catsonsville campus.

DIT has also been hired to teach and perform at a number of weddings and wedding showers.  In one case, we taught the ladies at a shower a short routine. Then those who were comfortable were going to perform it at the wedding reception!  And needless to say, DIT has also been hired to prepare couples for their first dance at the reception.  That is always a joyful job!!  Salsa, Merengue, and other Latin dances are becoming fashionable as a first dance these days!

We have also danced at high end special events held at hotels such as the Omni Shoreham, Marriott Hotels, etc.  Sometimes entertainment companies (such as The Entertainment Exchange) hire DIT to provide dancers for these events. 

Events Out of Town

DanceInTime has done both teaching and performing outside the Washington DC metropolitan area as well.  At Congresses and Salsa events in Vancouver Canada and Miami, we have taught workshops, performed, and judged contests. In 2008, one of the DanceInTime teams will perform at the New York Salsa Congress, the Puerto Rico Salsa Congress, the DC Salsa Congress and the Philadelphia Salsa Congress.  And performances have been done at other out of town events.

Bringing in Top Talent

In order to bring great and original shows to the area, DanceInTime sometimes brings in talent from other cities to perform with local dancers.  This adds unique elements to a show and is fun for the performers!  For example, at the Verizon and Kennedy Center shows, dancers came to partcipate from New York and Richmond.  In addition, the shows in Philadelphia included dancers from Pennsylvania and New York.  A show done on Dec 3, 2005 at a private party included dancers who own Salsa Caliente Studio in Florida and came up to perform and teach. 

Other Shows

A number of additional Latin dance shows have been arranged at other venues including: The Fontainbleu in Glen Burnie, MD at a Gala sponsored by the Federation of Hispanic Organizations (2/08), The Day of Dance for Women's Health sponsored by an Anne Arundel Hospital (2/08), The Strathmore Music Center at a private Christmas party (12/07), various church events (2007), Taste of Bethesda (fall 07), and The Tally Ho Movie Theater's Hispanic Heritage Program (2007).  In addition, past shows were done at Joe's Movement Emporium (January, 2003), World Fest 2003 (May, 2003),  government offices (various dates), and the Promenade DanceSport Facility (September and November 2003) and the "Celebrate Fairfax" Festival (June 12, 04).

In addition, DanceInTimeProductions and Latin Motion performed together in July, 2004 at the Old Post Office Pavilion Stage in Washington, DC and the Mason District Park Amphitheatre in Fairfax, Virginia. These shows included Rueda, Salsa, Cha Cha, Bachata, a Ladies Routine, Merengue, instruction/lessons, etc.

On April 10, 2004, DanceInTimeProductions and SalsaWild collaborated in a presentation for the Publick Playhouse's Annual World Dance Showcase.  There, too, the performances were followed by some dance instruction and general dancing where audience members and performers mingled.

DanceInTimeProductions and Salsa Magic collaborated in a show at Telemundos's Feria de la Familia on October 24, 2004. In addition to Salsa/Rueda, Merengue, Cha Cha and Bachata demonstrations, there was something truly unique. Lee and Flor of Salsa Magic did a Salsa demonstration that blended dancing and a magic trick, to really thrill and perplex the audience.

We had another interesting gig that was a cross between a performance and a speaking engagement.  The Charles Theater in Baltimore has a program on Sundays where they show a movie, offer brunch, and hire a guest speaker who is an expert in the subject of the movie to lead a discussion afterwards.  One Sunday, they showed a "pre-release" of Shall We Dance? starring Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere, and hired Barb as the guest speaker.  This is a great movie that brings up many interesting issues regarding dance culture.  Jen and Mike joined in leading the discussion and we did some demos (upon request). Click here to read an article about this event which includes a movie review.

In addition, during the summer of 2004, some members of DanceInTimeProductions participated in the filming of a night club scene for a Fox TV show. This was a "reality TV show" titled "Ambush Makeover", which featured a nightclub setting. We did some Salsa as well as Rueda for the filming.

Other performance venues have included Latino Fest, a big annual festival in Baltimore, Centro De Auyuda Hispanic Festival (June 2005), and countless private parties, schools, etc.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, Oct 2005, Wegman's Dulles Cafe had an afternoon Hispanic Heritage Month celebration and hired DanceInTime to provide entertainment.  Doug Reynolds and his partner did all manner of Latin dances and even danced with some of the audience members at to make the event lively and fun.

DIT also entertained during the summers of 2005, 2006, and 2007 at Artscape in Baltimore, a huge open air festival that spans many square blocks of the city. The first year, Barb and Glen taught and performed on an indoor stage. Then in 06 and 07, we taught and performed on outdoor stages which was a lot of fun!  Check out the photos from that festival on this site.  We had great, sunny weather at the last two shows (the outdoor performances) which makes the photos very cheerful! 

On April 21, 2007, DanceInTime performed their "wedding routine" at Glen Echo's big Rueda Fiesta.  That was lots of fun!!  Video clips of that show are on the "Performance Videos" page of this site. 

Upcoming Shows

Feel free to contact Barb for details on our upcoming shows.  There are always a number of things in the works. Some performances are at private parties or offices, but there are always some shows being planned that are open to the public as well. And some are free events that everyone is welcome to attend!

Customized Shows

As the above examples demonstrate, dance shows or dance programs that include instruction can be arranged to accommodate any need and time requirement.  In fact, Barb has also taught groups doing their own presentations and helped design choreography.  For example, a group of Montgomery County High School students were prepared for a performance at their school's "International Night" by learning Salsa/Rueda and blending it in a presentation with Merengue.  They did a great job, too!

Contributing Groups and Individuals

Some of these shows have been enhanced by the contributions of other outstanding dance groups and top-notch performing couples.  These groups have not only danced, but have also assisted by sharing their ideas on everything from choreographies to music and logistics.  Likewise, within our own group, many of the dancers have lent their considerable talent, energy, and imagination to making our shows original and exciting.  They all deserve recognition beyond what this text can provide.

Vocal Entertainment

Although this website is mostly about dancing, I wanted to add a page about the excellent vocal entertainment of Kevin Muldrow and Gary Richman who sing "Oldies" (but definitely "Goodies").

If anyone is looking to hire a singer to entertain at a party or event, I heartily suggest them. I met these gentlemen through a dance friend who did a show that involved both singing and dancing with them. When we met, I was impressed with their repetoire and I love the songs they do----- famous "oldies" sung by Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, etc. Their website includes a list of their songs: Nightatthecopa.com.

At a subsequent show, I videotaped some songs and even harmonized with one. The clips are below for anyone interested in hiring vocal entertainment! Kevin imitates Nat King Cole and does an incredible likeness. Gary imitates Sinatra and their show is really excellent. If you want to reach them, you can do so through their website, or just email me and I'll pass the message along.
