Swirl Duet in Prince Ali Show January 2016

Here is a clip of the Prince Ali Swirl duet- Dawn Devine and I were in last week. As the "Representative of All Things GOOD" I wore Blue Assiut and as the "Representative of All Things EVIL" Davina wore red. When we dance it "straight" it's lovely.. when we wacked it up.. it got very very silly.. Enjoy!

Will good prevail?? I do hope so!

On Sunday, 1/31/16, Swirl, this incarnation composed of Davina - Dawn Devine and Myself, are featured dancers in Sudeep Johnson's extravaganza of theater and dance, Prince Ali: Good Prince, Bad Prince! Tickets are on sale now for Sunday's 7:00pm show at Angelica's Bistro in Redwood City, CA. I'm going to let my inner goodness out to battle to be the Ultimate Good... 

Send me your *good* vibes!
