Saturday night at the Grand Hyatt

Most of you know that my dance company put on a big show Saturday night for a wedding at the Grand Hyatt in Seattle. Our 9 dancers have been training intensively for 4 months to put together this program and it was a HUGE success, if I do say so myself. It's always been my dream to put together a production like this with professional dancers and Saturday night, that dream was fulfilled.

The wedding was beautiful, very swank, from the ice sculptures of the Taj Mahal to the manicured red and white roses on every table to the guests all dressed in tuxedos and brilliantly colored sparkling saris. Our show was one hour long starting at 9:30, the first part was 3 Indian Bollywood numbers, the second part 4 bellydance numbers and a finale. It was classy and beautiful and I was absolutely thrilled although I wanted to throttle the wedding planner who was a total jerk. And half-way through the show, we started a contest backstage to see if anyone could make the bride crack a smile. Sadly, it was the only failure of the show. But by the sound of the cheers, singing along, and clapping, the rest of the party loved it, so I was satisfied!

We got several invitations after the show to dance in various places like Vancouver, B.C. and Portland. The mother and father of the bride were so happy about the show, they were almost in tears when they thanked us for all our hard work.

Pictures coming soon!
