For the fourth year in a row we have been asked to host a cast and crew party at Cassilhaus for one of the companies of the American Dance Festival here in Durham and as usual the event was one of the highlights of our year. Past events were for H. Art Chaos, Brenda Angiel Aeial Dance Company, and Shen Wei Dance Arts. Under new director Jodee Nimerichter we are seeing some new faces at the ADF and what a wonderful treat to get to see the very first US performance of the Scottish Dance Theater. I don't know what I was expecting but their performance wasn't it! I was mesmerized. I link here to my friend and fellow blogger Kate Dobbs Arial who is a dance critic to give the performance its due. As they used to say on Saturday Night Live--If it's not Scottish its crap! We made some wonderful new friends and hope SDT will be a regular at ADF!
