1 dancer | 24 minutes
A vocalist and a dancer are much the same. A great solo vocalist has the power to make you feel, listen, and take you through the story by any means necessary. In a live setting, we connect with our ears and our eyes. A great vocalist can make you remember "the first song at the first show". A great vocalist can help a collective crowd shake a foundation or shudder with a ripple.
A great solo dancer is much like a great vocalist. They don't need a microphone, but give them one and they will dance on it.
