There is always a feeling of excitement as you enter the theatre, glancing at the camels, feeling the warm caress of the desert embracing you, knowing that soon you will be viewing another great show the creators have prepared for our enjoyment,

Shanny was our hostess tonight and she looked stunning in her long dark pink gown, a ready smile on her face as she greeted people as they took their seats. Tonight, she informed us, was sponsor night and the generous donation of a L$500 gift card from Rae, the owner of Insatiable Dreams Designs would be awarded to a lucky person at the end of the show, Hmmm must try my luck.

1 Shanny

The show was ready to start. I sat with pen ready. in a great seat. It really helps to come early!!!

The opening act was Kyshra dancing to Dubstep Trance remix of ‘Raindrops’.. What an awesome opener it was as she joined with Queenie and Lil as wind up china dolls wearing large keys on their backs dancing amid bubbles, pink candles in the most spectacular of outfits. The outfits changed as did the colour of the set. A great act to start the evening. Well done Kyshra!!

2 Kyshra

Up next was Dev dancing with Meegan and Immi. Bright coloured lights streamed around them as they strutted their stuff to Scum of the Earth’s rendition of ‘Pornstar Champion’, What a lively dance it was as we all were memorized by not only the dance but the strobes that enhanced the act. Great stuff Dev!!!!

3 Devlin

Meegan followed using the Metaharper Camera Setting. What a fantastic act it was, the system kept you focused on her alluring belly dance moves as she changed her positions on stage. It was hypnotic almost, you felt totally with her as she danced past candles, stars emitted around her. Excellent effects. The music she chose was ‘Desert Rose’ by Sting. Wow Meegan!!

4 Meegan

Perhaps to calm us down, right  as if that would happen when Gunner took the stage looking very dapper dancing to Parov Stelar – Y.  He called enticingly up to Baby, working in the kitchen, to join him. What a cool set, a two leveled house. Of course Baby responded moving down flights of stairs to join him to be swept away in a loving dance. As she said “Who needs to eat anyway.” Very Romantic Gunner!!

5 Gunner

From a well maintained house Lil took us to an outside derelict area full of rubble, cars burning, trash everywhere as she and her dancers Rhonda, Diawa, Queenie and Sammy all dressed in grunge clothing did a lively dance by Nickelback called ‘Burn it to the ground’. An amazing set and well choreographed. Excellent Lil !!!6 Lil

Taking the stage next was Adam and Muse. Such an interesting concept as we viewed their dance through the lens of a magnifying glass. The dance was beautiful taking us from indoors to outdoors where they finished their act on the deck of a power boat. The music was ‘Through your eyes’ sung by Britt Nicole. You could feel the love between them. So heartwarming Adam and Muse.

7 Adam & Muse

Our next performer was Baby joined by her love Gunner who sat on a beach entranced by the beautiful mermaid dancing on the waves. No one spoke as they were glued watching this enchanted dance unfold listening to Elton John singing ‘The One’. Baby changed taking on human form. Suddenly a large statue appeared from the ground and holding hands the two of them finished the act dancing on the palms of the statue.. was awe inspiring and well done.

8 Baby

Our final act tonight was Jilley looking so provocative as an Egyptian female seducing the 3 males, Jorgio, Tray, Adam in the most tempting of dances. Of course they joined her, who wouldn’t. She looked totally gorgeous in her outfit, the music was well chosen, Queen’s “I want to break free’ and the act perfectly choreographed. What a great way to end the evening. Way to go Jilley.

Well with a deep sigh of contentment our show had ended. The draw took place of the gift card. I am rather shy to state who won, so lets just say ‘ummmm’  … grins and points to myself (was not fixed!!)

Deep thanks to all our sponsors, Rebecca and of course YOU our fans and supporters. See you all next Sunday for another fabulous new show.

Camels munched quietly outside the theatre as audience members began to enter to find a good viewing spot in anticipation of another spectacular Winds production.

The usual air of excitement drifted from the dressing rooms, you could feel it enveloping you. Our beautiful hostess Shanny greeted people as they arrived. How lovely she looked resplendent in a yellow gown. She announced that tonight was sponsor week and a draw for the lucky winner would take place near the end of the show.  Our sponsor tonight was from Lina the owner of ‘Insatiable Dreams Designs’ a first class boutique and she generously donated a L$500 gift card. Thank you Lina!!

1 Shanny

Our show was ready to start.  What an opener it was as we were brought to a gypsy camp to witness a dance by the dwellers of it. Choreographed by Jo and joined by Roni, Seb and Tray they frolicked bare footed in the grass to the sounds of Omar Khorshid’s ‘La Comparsita’. Moon beams drifted though the air, the sounds of tambourines you could almost hear as the girls played them. Great routine.

2 JMB

Up next was Luna fully attired, as were her dancers CC, Annsandy, Babs and Penny, in kimonos doing a traditional Japanese dance in a beautiful setting. Such a graceful routine you felt as if you were really there in the gardens with them. .. The music was a soft Japanese instrumental simply titled ‘Snow’.. A joy to watch.

3 Luna

Seb was our next performer joined by Jo. Picture this. One side of the stage was ‘heavenly’ with Jo looking lovely and angelic dancing on a fluffy cloud whilst on the other side was Seb, looking like the devil himself, with fire erupting from a volcano with flames spewing up around him.. They danced to Prince Royce’s ‘My Angel’. Was quite the stunning effect and of course good overcomes evil always as the devil drifted to the angel and they finished the act dancing together. Well done!!

4 Sebastain

Before the curtains even opened the aromatic scents of roses wafted around us and then as the set was revealed we knew why. Kyshra looked stunning in her flowing white gown, with hand feathers enhancing her sensuous dance atop a large red rose to the sounds of Prince’s ‘Most Beautiful Girl in the World’. What a fitting choice. Silvery stars drifted downwards upon the other roses that covered the stage floor. Just lovely Kyshra!!!

5 Kyshra

What a lively performance our next act was with Queenie playing madly upon a fiddle to a remix of ‘Devil Went Down to Georgia’. What fun it was as the devil (aka Path) appeared first peddling upon a bicycle. to challenge her. The set went from a peaceful countryside, to the depths of hell where the devil played fantically upon his fiddle as he danced. It went back to the field again where Queenie twirled merrily around him. What an entertaining act it was. We all sung along. Fantastic Queenie!!

6 Queenie

Jilly graced the stage next allowing  her sinuous body to slowly move  in a lovely and authentic Japanese garden as Elton John sang :’Japanese Hands’. The set was quite stunning. and she performed with carefully choreographed steps. Her hands, clasping fans, fluttered across her face.. You could almost sense the shyness she was portraying as the young Geisha girl.  Just lovely Jilly!!

7 Jilley

Lotta was up next and what an entrance she made clothed in a tight fitting red dress and alluringly walking down a black carpeted runway to begin her dance. As she gyrated her body to Micheal Bubles rendition of ‘Feeling Good’ the audience began to feel really good too. Then enticingly she began to strip to perform the remainder of her dance naked. One member of the audience was heard to say “I think I just lost my virginity”. Yes Lotta your dance was HOT !!.

8 Lotta

Our next number made us all clap in appreciation as Winnie along with Jorgio executed the number as ‘stick men’ How unique it was.. The music she chose was the theme song from “Pirates of the Caribbean’. It was wonderfully choreographed against a backdrop of rolling waves and of course a pirate ship bobbing upon them. A very entertaining dance. Great work Winnie!!
9 Winnie

Kellan was our final act. She was inspired to write this number having heard the song ‘Love Make the World Go Round’ performed by Jo and Lin-Manuel Miranda as a tribute to those that tragically  lost their lives in a terrorist attack by a lone gunman in a gay bar (Pulse) in Orlando, Florida on June 12 of this year. . It was a message, choreographed to dance, for people to accept others as they are, The routine portrayed love, peace and it was a happy dance with all, Ridley, Imrhien, Tray, Keith, Rhonda, Fenrir, Hitomi, Path, Nara, Carlyee, Sebastain  wearing clothing to suit the lifestyles that are classed as different. It was a brilliant act. With a strong message. Quite the way to end the show. Well done Kellan!

10 Kellan

So ended another fantastic show at the Winds. The winner of the gift card was announced. Congratulations to Aguilatigre..

I would like to extend deep thanks and gratitude to Rebecca and all our sponsors for giving us such a wonderful theatre to showcase our talents. Just a reminder that on the 21st we have another theme show.. One that should appeal to the young at heart ‘ Childhood Cartoons’. See you all next Sunday at 5 pm (slt) for a brand new show.!!
