Halloween Carnival's Ball - Key Club

Carnival is a dance show/club event that takes place at the Key Club in West Hollywood every month. Choreographers have to apply for the event (they are picky) - it's a good way for them to get their work out there and it's a good way for dancers to been seen as well. I've alllwayz wanted to go... and I guess I killed 2 birds with one stone with this one because I not only went to watch but I was asked to perform in it!

Nick and Anna were the choreographers for the piece; I know them from Breed (a dance group I was on in Seattle; they are leaders of a similar one down here in LA). There were 9 girls in the piece (most of them I knew, a few I met) - we had about 6 rehearsals or so (starting the day I landed in LA). The piece was scary (as you can see from the pics) - thrashy jazz hip hop.

We arrived at the venue on Halloween at 2pm - ran the piece with lights and then returned at 5:30 to run the show full out before the actual one. Then we ate sushi across the street and returned at 9pm to get ready. We did our make up in a parking garage because there were so many dancers in the event - luckily it was fun and scary make up! The show soon began at 11 and the venue was packed! We were the 2nd piece in the show and had a great time performing it. Everyone really enjoyed it!

It was definitely an experience to remember and it was great hanging out and meeting new people.
