Compagnie Jant-Bi: Waxton

Last weekend, there was a terrific dance group called Compagnie Jant-Bi from Senegal who put on a one-night only show on Saturday through Alverno Presents. I was absolutely blown away by their performance of Waxton. The fierceness of the dancers was remarkable. They were so physically active throughout the dance and made me feel out of breath just watching. It reminded me a lot of going to see fireworks because the dancers would have moments of huge, fast, explosive movement along with moments of condensed, still, stable activity.

If you missed this dynamic company perform live, you have to check them out on the website linked above, and watch their clips on youtube. They are a real treat for anybody of any background. I found them irresistibly provoking and entertaining along with meaningful and witty.
