I have had the pleasure of being the production photographer of the Mosaic Dance Theater Company for the last year and a half. Their performances are outstanding and super entertaining with great reviews wherever they perform. i just wanted to take this time to announce these two upcoming performances. There will also be another set of dates in late May at the American Globe Theater at 145 W. 46th street in New york City. I'll be posting about those shows at a later date. So, in the mean time you can see their performance at The Westminster Arts Center on April 17th and 18th.
Westminster Arts Center presents Mosaic Dance Theater Company and Viva Flamenco in an evening of Folklore, Fantasy and Flamenco, with a dazzling array of dance works celebrating the rich dance heritage of the Near East and Spain. The production will be presented at Westminster Arts Center, Franklin and Fremont Streets, Bloomfield, NJ 07003. Performances are at 8:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, April 17 & 18, 2009.

I miss having season tickets to see dances. Having a young child changed a lot of things!
(But I wouldn't change anything!)
They're lucky to have you as the photographer =)
I wish I could attend the show but stuck in California for now.....
Thanks for the comments all, and T.E.A thank you for the good words. Actually the show went great and I'll post some images from it once we get it together in agreement.
They will be putting on 4 more shows at the American Globe theater in N.Y so hopefully you'll get to come out and check it out.
