Velocity + The Dance Cartel to Present ONTHEFLOOR: WESTWARD HO!, 3/6-8

After a sold-out run at Ace Hotel NYC, the critically- acclaimed DANCE CARTEL makes its West Coast premiere of immersive dance experience ONTHEFLOOR, with a starry roster of special guests at Velocity Dance Center, Seattle. For their Velocity Guest Artist appearance The Dance Cartel joins forces with Seattle legends dance artist Amy O'Neal, "spectacularly original" (New York Magazine) comedian/musician Reggie Watts, and contemporary dance company HYPERNOVA.D

Reggie Watts, Amy O'Neal, and HYPERNOVA. Dates: March 6, 7 + 8 (Doors Open 8:30PM for March 6 + 7 / Doors Open 7:30PM for March 8).

ONTHEFLOOR is cultivating a new dance scene that becomes what the audience wants it to be: a participatory dance performance, a throwback to a Warhol era nightclub, performance art spectacle, a burgeoning underground creative community, a Brazilian Carnival-Seattle and New York's most "exuberant, electrifying" (This Week in New York) dance party experience. The Dance Cartel won't force you to dance, but they'll invite you to misbehave. Target audience includes anyone and everyone: performance art nerds, dance fans, transients, music connoisseurs, 18-year-olds, grandmas, Jay-Z, college students, hipsters, Amazonians, comedy radicals, and everyone else. Kick off your stilettos, because after the show, you are invited to join the Cartel on the floor into the night.

ONTHEFLOOR is conceived and choreographed by Ani Taj (The Dance Cartel, Les Freres Corbusier, Reggie Watts), co-directed by Sam Pinkleton (Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812; Mr. Burns); costumes by Madeleine Askwith.
