2 Shows in 1 Weekend= Crazy & Fun!!

This past weekend we had two shows which were an overall success for LEGACY. In our opinion, one of the shows went much better than the other. What I mean by that is that one of the shows was much better executed than the other. However, both audiences were highly entertained which is the most important thing! 

On Saturday, March 5th we performed for "Dance Your Heart Out" at the Radisson Hotel ball room in downtown Minneapolis. This is an organization that raises money and awareness for children and families living with HIV. Last year we performed for DYHO at the MOA right around this time as well. It’s always nice to be part of this great event; it's rewarding and we get to work with some of the same people such as DJ Adrian Perryman who always does a wonderful job. The folks running the event knew what they were doing so everything ran very smoothly. I was very happy with the accommodations we were offered. It's always nice having a space ( commonly referred as a green room) where our dancers can relax, get ready for a show, not to mention being given yummy food! 

At this show, some dancers did make some slight mistakes during the new numbers but that's fine; nothing too bad. I don't think the audience cared because they were clapping anyway! I am not stressing out about technical mistakes YET since it's only March. If these mistakes happen in early May, we have a problem!!! LOL

On Sunday night, we were hired to perform at DaVinci Trattoria. This was for a private gala/fundraiser for the White Bear Montessori School and that was a very good show. Although the crowd was not as big as we're used to having, it was by far a super fun show. The crowd was very energetic and very into our show. They were singing along, screaming at times and even yelling out names of songs they wanted to see us dance to which most of the ones they would yell for, they got to see!!  Technically for us it was a great performance; smooth and flawless.  The staff was very nice to us from the beginning and the accommodations for our crew was incredible as well. We’re not used to leather couches, big screen TV, candles and gourmet sandwiches as our green room experience before a show!!  YummooooOOO!!

This was a crazy, busy weekend but after these shows, it's back to focusing on LEGACY rehearsals. We are on the homestretch of a bad ass, new show and then we run the show until it's perfect!!  Our next scheduled set of shows begin mid-April unless we have an offer we can't pass up!

BIG thanks to all the dancers, costumer (Lisa C.) and Glo for all your hard work! LEGACY is NOTHING without YOU. 

Also, a million thanks to wonderful organizations hiring us to entertain your events and the connection in between us (Ching Lauj- thank you!!)!! We are always happy to put on a great show for any event!
