Video Description: At Vista Brewing, three dancers perform a piece titled “Overdrive,” inspired by the brewery’s beer called Dark Skies. They are dressed in blue, white, and tan, colors that evoke both the night sky and earthy tones. The music is improvisational, featuring various instruments that create a “spooky” yet sci-fi soundscape, reminiscent of alien worlds rather than traditional hauntings. Their movements embody diligence, skill, and craftsmanship. With focused precision, they execute intricate choreography, showcasing their dedication and the mastery of their art. The performance blends cosmic mystery with disciplined effort, immersing the audience in an otherworldly experience.

“I’ve been meaning to write and thank you and Liliana for bringing me into your dance circle the other day. It was such a freeing and fun experience. For going in cold with uncertainty, you both were so welcoming and I really appreciate the instruction and guidance. The skits really bring self awareness to the body’s mind and movements, which was cool and needed. And did I say fun?!”
