Heidi Anne and BodyVox

As you have guessed (or already know) we live in a small, college town with roughly 48,000 people spread out in our county (which is 17 square miles). As you would imagine  there are few opportunities to be exposed to different cultures, traditions, various arts, or just memorable experiences in general.
 Thankfully, this college town draws in a variety of artists and their media or performances.


Now that Heidi Anne has been going to ballet class, she loves to go to watch dance performances. There was a show coming that I thought she would love, It was BodyVox's Reverie.   However, 1 ticket x 3 people = More than I could pay for-(even with the discount Conservice employees receive)  But I won some tickets from work. That totally made my day. 


The show was Bodyvox's Reverie. I won't lie there were some moments where I was lost on what they were doing. It would look like Cir De Solie mixed with interpretive dance and hints of humor. 


Heidi Anne loved the show. Sometimes they looked like dancing flowers. 
One of those Interpretive Dance 
They had a few videos they would play, too. Maybe for them to have a water break? But the video ones made Heidi Anne laughed so hard. The one she like the most was a video of a guy DANCING with a bulldozer. say dancing, I really mean dancing. They would do spins, moving back and forth, just down right funny. 
Nothing Dances  Like a Deere

See-Told You-Twirling with Bulldozer 

This is where the Ci Du Soleil comes in. Those two guys spent at least 10 minutes on this scene  The guys were upside down, going in circles upside down, holding one guy with his legs and hanging upside down while haning onto the bar with his own legs.
I Sense a Killer Headache Coming....

The favorite had of been the one where the dancers were "alseep". The other one of my favorites was a video about sleep disorders. Hard to explain it-but hilarious when you see it for yourself.

I love working for a company that not only supports the local arts but provides avenues for the employees to either attend a performance or actively take classes.
