Did you forget how to Dougie? Have your joints rusted a bit since the last time you danced the Jerk?…

July 5: Boogie Nights Dirty Disco at Hopmonk Tavern

Jay Scherf — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 13:10:00 -0700

One would think, here and now, that disco has faded to a goofy relic of the past. For those born after the 1970s, disco exists only through YouTube videos of Soul Train and excerpted scenes from Saturday Night Fever and Thank God It’s Friday.…

Gabe Meline — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:00:15 -0800

After a short hiatus, the monthly burlesque revue known as Risk-A Cabaret returns this weekend with its bare skin and signature rule-bending style. “There are girls and boys of all shapes and sizes,” organizer Jodi Waseca told the Bohemian last year, “drag queens and kings, musicians, clowns, aerialists, fire performers, sideshow acts—you name it.” With male belly dancer Paige Lawrence, “burlesque mama” Violet Streak, samba queen Milk Shake and fire dancers, accordions and comedians, the night also celebrates Mardi Gras with the Fourth Street New Orleans Jazz Band.…

Like working in the wine industry after Sideways or working in a record store after High Fidelity, it must be incredibly strange to be dancing in a ballet troupe after the widespread hullabaloo over Black Swan. Can you imagine trying to explain your trained craft to someone who’s simply imagining you as Mila Kunis?…

Jan. 8: Beats of the Bay at Marin Center

Gabe Meline — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 17:02:16 -0800

If you were headed to a recital by a local dance school, you might expect numbers set to music by Madonna, Lady Gaga or Daft Punk. But for the Love2Dance studio, which since 2002 has been teaching kids the art of body movin’ in Novato, this year it’s all about the Bay.…
