Dance In Vancouver, MACHiNENOiSY by Ronald Rickus 4x6

I have a pair of tickets to Program Three to give away:

Program Three: Wednesday November 23, 7pm

MACHiNENOiSY Vancouver vs Vancouver + Out Innerspace Dance Theatre Duets (working title)*
Aesthetically simple, profoundly funny and equally disturbing, Vancouver vs Vancouver explores the complex machinations of theatre and the use of sound in dance: MACHiNENOiSY’s Daelik and Delia Brett confront each other, confront the theatre, and destabilize our notions of story and dance. David Raymond and Tiffany Tregarthen of Out Innerspace bring their exquisite stage rapport and striking sense of imagery to Duets, inspired by the genre-defying music of Japanese experimental percussionist Asa Chang.

To enter my giveaway, tell me your favorite style of dance in the comments section (one additional entry for a total of two by posting the text below on Twitter. Most people who wonder which one is my own favorite. I was trained as a contemporary dancer but I’m more of a specialist on salsa, tango and merengue. More salsa if you really press me. How about you? Which style of dance do you like the most? (either watching or dancing!).

Balkan-style folk dance is very special to me, but not my only favorite.
