Spank Dance Company will present the 7th annual Dance Carousel. The Dance Carousel is a showcase of 10 local dance artists, each creating four 1-minute dances, for a total of 40 one-minute new movement pieces. This dance sampler is the best way an audience can be introduced to modern dance and the massively diverse dance artistry in the Austin community. The show is for dance-lovers and novices alike, for folks who love absurd humor and the subtle gestures of dance, for the short attention span and for those who enjoy watching the all the abstract parts of a dance becoming whole.

      This was my first time to see dance carousel, and I left wanting to see more. The show consists of 40 one minute dances, with each choreographer creating 4 different works. Each cycle of 10 started with a dance video created by Ellen Bartel (the show organizer) and Eliot Haynes. The simplicity of the movement, creative editing and music by Adam Sultan combined to create a truly interesting collaboration. In a similar way, Tom Benton's work, performed by him and dancer Kirsche Dickson used simple movement and ideas in a unique way that left me wishing they were longer. Another refreshing series of dances was choreographed by the duo Two Left Feet, who combined great film work with beautiful dancing and communicated complex ideas that left audience members thinking. And then there was the sheer physicality and commanding stage presence of soloist Rosalyn Nasky, and the extremely entertaining dances from Meredith Cook-Knight- All of this combined to make a very enjoyable show.
