Next, Troupe Nambah and the Bennuvians shared a very traditional
cane routine with the Bennuvians on the upper stage and
Troupe Nambah in front.
Nambah performed a set of three Tribal numbers
showing off their tight knit timing.
Here are shots of some of Nambah's signature poses:
Bennu performed a group sword routine
...Followed by Alcina's lively 9/8 rhythm "Rompi Rompi"
Alcina and the Bennuvians tried to tame the wind with their veils:
The program ended with open dancing,
inviting audience members up on the stage for some lessons.
...and then a rousing Finale number with
Alcina, the Bennuvians, and Troupe Nambah closing the show.
Here are some candid shots:
Alcina proudly watches her troupe from the wings.
All the dancers huddle for a Pre-Show conference.
And Bahira discusses directions with the Nambahlicious Ladies
Shiva greeting one of many of our friends that showed up to support us.
