BINGO! BINGO! BINGO!
Friday, april 25th, the POW Girlies and I hosted our first fund-raising event for the DTW project at Grand Space in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. It was a beautiful time playing BINGO and having fun with our extremely supportive friends!
We spent the evening dabbing away at our cards, slurping Nik's delicious corn soup, dancing and playing music together. After the informal performance of our new material, the crowd broke out into a crazy dance party, showing off the wahtusi, the twist, the mashed potato, the old school dance styles that I love! One of my main goals with my work is to get people up on their feet, moving and trying new dances. Everything I create is influenced by social dance and I want it to make an impact in the social dance scene. It was like a dream come true!
Later in the evening, Damien came through and played his 10 stringed Puerto Rican guitar while little Jacob and friends tickled the ivories. We projected my pictures of the girls rehearsing and modeling
Jacob's Eye bags, along with
Robbie Lee's classic pictures of the Fort Green Soccer team, many of whom joined us for the evening. The drumming and dance circle led by Joel got the people dancing once again, letting loose and feeling free. It was an incredible artistic happening and a success of an event to help support my beautiful dancers and designers.
We will certainly be hosting another BINGO NITE in JUNE. Ill keep you posted.
