One of San Diego's most accomplished choreographers Michael Mizerany (known to Diversionary audiences for his work on Hot Guys Dancing and In The Va Va Voom Room) presents an electrifying night of dance with his company Compulsion Dance & Theatre. Michael completes his Man Dance Series with the premiere of ManTrap. This new work joins the pieces critically acclaimed works Manhandled, Via Dolorosa, UnCoupling and Man Clan for an unforgettable and sensuous evening of dance.

ManTrap, a comic and at times outrageous romp, is a stunning mix of contemporary dance and hip hop. When a couple meets for the first time, desires ignite, sparks fly and one big secret is revealed. And in the end the question is: Will he or won't he?
