It was one swinging performance by the Swingers, in the City last week. The dancers swerved, twirled and swung into crisp movements leaving the audience spellbound.

 The hard work, commitment and dedication of the performers was evident throughout. “The whole idea of the performance is to bring in changes, see things that’s out of the box. All the dancers chose to talk in a new language in dance which has no relation to any culture or language,” artistic director Prasanna Kumar of Swingers told Metrolife.

Everything from the backdrop, costumes, sound and light effects were in sync with each other and reflected the mood of each dance. It ranged from bright to dull to dark.

The first performance of the evening was Landing, an abstract opening a glimpse into the unexplored forms of dance that took the audience a step further into a multifaceted art cyclone. Then came Love trap, depicting home-coming, an emotionally packed scenario filled with love, happiness, anger and various other emotions under one roof. Margarita, was a perfect collage of the three dimensional light effects, visual gimmick of controlling from 24 to 40 frames per second.

The show was knit together by Prasanna. He drew his inspiration from the works of Alvin Ailey, Paul Taylor, Martha Graham, Desmond Richordson, New York and Amercian Ballet theatre companies. The last performance titled, Black Friday, depicted the beginning of the end. The dance was based on the underground church of Britain. “The ultimate embodiment of evil and the end of millennium. He `satan’, the supernatural force of terror spreads his kingdom all over the world, possessing power beyond human comprehension. He makes his moves simple and finally conquers,” explains Prasanna.

Has Prasanna ever thought of incorporating Indian dance sequences in their performance. “I have lots of respect for Indian dance forms but I choose to do what I am good at,” says Prasanna.

The Swingers sure wrote a new body language with their dance.
