I went out for New Year's Eve this year with my dancer friend
Whitney Suter who hired me to do some photos of her belly dance troupe
Tiamat. They danced at the Academy of Music in Northampton with lots and lots of other dancers and troupes. It was an interesting experience to be a fly on the wall (with a camera) behind the scenes with all the dancers getting ready to perform......for all non-professional dancers we've only seen scenes like that it in the movies (he,he). I took this photo, one of my favorites of the evening, of a hula hoop dance
performance. After the show a few of the dancers and I went to an amazing restaurant Paul and Elizabeth's and enjoyed a spectacular Lobster Scallop Bisque!....along with vegetarian and seafood main courses. We walked the main streets following dinner and then went over to The Northampton Center for the Arts where we danced up a storm......rocking out to The
Alchemystics, whose music is described as ......
Intricate wordplay, soulful roots, memorable hooks, old-school vocal harmonies and intense passion are but a few of the elements which combine to form the powerful and unmistakable sound of the Alchemystics. Fueled by the belief that music can expand beyond the boundaries of style and categories, the Alchemystics create a sound that reflects their love of heavy rhythms, reggae, hip hop, soul and dub, while also infusing earthy vocal harmonies. The band features the vocal stylings of Ras Jahn and Ian-I, the intricate lyrics of emcee Force, and the deep groove of drummer Demse Zullo, world-traveled bassist Garrett Sawyer and keyboardist Jay Metcalf.
