E is for exuberance

Bandaloop is an Oakland-based dance troupe that performs only on vertical surfaces usually from scary heights.  Last weekend they danced on the facade of City Hall during the annual Art and Soul Festival.  As always the crowd loved it.  There was exuberance from above and below.  Don't miss a chance to see them if they perform in your area.  Linked to ABC Wednesday.

      Yep. Sometimes recorded, sometimes live music, and sometimes new commissioned pieces.

    That definitely would not be a good activity for me. I'm afraid of heights. But they look beautiful in their red outfits. - Margy
