Review – “The Brain in Motion” at Lineage Performing Arts Center

I am so happy to have learned about this venue and dance group (and embarrassed that I didn’t know about it before – presumed it was just a dance studio).

I had the pleasure of seeing “The Brain in Motion” last Saturday, and the performance was 5 stars all the way!

The charming hosts, who humorously assumed the characteristics of the right and left sides of the brain, and the program we received, which included a quiz and information about the brain, taught me a few things about our most important organ.

The dancers were wonderfully fluid and moved beautifully, perfectly interpreting the original music created for this production.  Graphics, video, and the banter of the hosts between dances tied it all together and made for a really enjoyable evening.

It is a very friendly, accessible venue, with convenient parking (park in the Schoolhouse parking lot at Green and Fair Oaks, 90 minutes free, $2 per hour thereafter).  I am looking forward to their next production.
