RASTA THOMAS NYPD NEW YORK.JPG

Rasta Thomas, Adrienne Canterna-Thomas, William Cusick, James Boyd, Anthony Colantone, Alexei Geronimo, Brandt Martinez… were the brilliant and virtuose dancers in Rasta Thomas great ballet version “ROCK THE BALLET” of the latest very demanding disco dancing

. But this was not for the “normal” disco dancers, this was done by highly qualified professional dancers, who had the little extra needed to do this evening some thing extraordinary, and the audiance at Casino de Paris, where the performance is being showed until 31th October, they loved it.

Rasta Thomas, him self, is a hit. Presenting pirouettes, jumps, grand jetes and other delicious ballet details, at a speed, tempo and with the highest possible quality, was brilliant, and it was so good to see this in suc a combination, which is bringing first class dance and daners out to a much bigger audience, than the classical ballet and the contemporary dance normally does.

It was all very much helped due to the matching and very talented video projections by William Cusick, which gave the whole thing an extra lift and a good and changing atmosphaere.

the staging, and was her self, the only female dancer on stage.

After the first part where I had the feeling that I have seen all possible variations of professional disco dance, but where there not have been any change in the costumes, only blue jeans and 6 different colours of t-shirts, but where Adrienne Canterna-Thomas, in delicious feminime costumes was the only change on stage, i  was feeling that i needed a change. That I got in the second part, where the  6 “Bad boys” had changed in to Black suits,white singlets, white shirts and some times black ties, which they were putting on and of as needed, until the very end, when only the black pants were left on the body. – They could have ended up in black boxer shorts, that would have been even better
.

Music by Michael Jackson, Prince, Queen, Jacques Brell and Georges Bizet.

It was funny, happy, hig speed, and quality in the dance all the time. ROCK THE BALLET is being performed at Casino de Paris until 31th October. After that it is comtinuing its tour to Italy, Germany, Amsterdam and the Netherlands, Austria and Wienna, Finland and so far ending up in Schwitzerland and Basel in May 2011.
