<p>Contemporary dance styles of the USA could not have been better represented, as the dancers of the Brigham Young University (BYU) brought the cultural revolution of their country on a platter to Chowdiah Memorial Hall, recently.<br /><br />The show revolved around the many emotions of a man and how each functions in a systematic rhythm. <br /><br />Their clever use of every nook and corner of the stage, crisp hand movements, fluid lifts and brilliant inter and intra-personal coordination was a treat for the audience. <br /><br />Each segment commenced with a small audio-visual presentation, which briefly introduced what was to follow. <br /><br />The show started off with horizontal and vertical movements with lifts and splits providing a break, typical of the contemporary style. What was interesting was the way they used technical aspects — like the light and the stage — in each segment. <br /><br />The second segment was much livelier, with Afro-American cult dances like jazz bringing in the energy to the stage. <br /><br />The vibe was clearly a hit with the audience. This segment had an interesting play of light and shadow. <br /><br />The twists and the quick steps were fused with the contemporary acrobatic moves and what came out on the stage was a fun-filled expression of happiness and the rhythm associated with it.<br /><br />“The show is brilliant and there is so much energy in these young dancers. <br /><br />There were so many different kinds of dances that were <br />presented. They are a great team and seeing such shows really widens your horizon <br />as you get to see dances from across the world,” says Madhu, who had come to <br />see the show. <br /><br />However, what really stole the show was the dancers’ portrayal of balance and rhythm. <br />The red lights and the red costumes set the mood as they rolled onto the stage on a huge wheel. <br /><br />The rhythm of balance was portrayed with inexplicable precision and coordination. <br />“I think the depiction of balance has been my favourite so far. <br /><br />It was so thrilling to see the dancers fit themselves between the two spokes of <br />a wheel. <br /><br />The music was in sync with the dance and to put it short, it was perfect,” beams Leanne, a member of the audience.</p>.<p><br />The peppy and sunny portrayal on stage was delightful for the audience. <br /><br />The dancers used a bench as a part of their act. Their pretty checkered frocks and the foot-tapping music made one want to dance as well. <br /><br />The conclusion of this piece was a sweet surprise, as a part the bench broke making the dancers and the audience break into a impromptu spell of laughter. <br /></p>
