Heartbeat

[YouOverThere]

Is anyone familiar with the show Heartbeat? It will be passing thru Denver at the beginning of March, and is advertised as being a "percussion dance show". I believe that Dennis Law, who is from the Law family who have been important patrons of dance in Denver, is involved (he was also involved with Terracotta Warriors).

I went to see Heartbeat this evening. It is sort of a Chinese answer to Riverdance. Only it is so much more dynamic, so much more spectacular, so much more challenging for the dancers (and martial artists), and so much less repititious that the two are hardly even comparable. I was in the 18th row and I could still feel so much energy from the people on stage that it was almost scary.

Just as a note, there was a similar show from Vercruz called Jarocho, which was a Mexican answer to Riverdance, and when, unfortunately, did not survive past an Asian tour last fall. I saw some recorded material from the show, and "so much more dynamic, so much more spectacular, so much more challenging for the dancers" was exactly how I would describe it as well.
