There is feverish activity happening in dance studios both in Wellington and up the Kapiti Coast as the Crows prepare for their next performance season in August.

The Wellington Crows christened one of their new dances 'Brahms Liebeslieder Waltzes' at last Sunday's International Dance Day at Te Whaea, the New Zealand School of Dance and Drama.

They are now working on their other new dance called 'Angle Poise' or 'The Belarusian Rhythmic Gymnastic Team'. Yes, it is a send up, but the group also perform two serious and beautiful traditional Russian dances.

The Kapiti Coast Crows group, who celebrate their first birthday this week, will perform for the first time in a Crows concert. Their dance, to one of Bach's Brandenberg concertos, is called 'Point of Order', and is a dance commentary about political issues affecting the Kapiti Coast community - very tongue in cheek!!

We perform at Whitireia Performing Arts new theatre in Vivian Street, August 5 - 7th, so watch this space for further updates.
