Building on the success of Flare Dance Ensemble's previous 2 productions, Rhythmicity 2004 brought something different to the stage. In addition to jazz, ballet, contemporary and hip hop, the new styles of dance that were introduced in this production include cheerleading, theatrical dance and martial arts/techno. Diversity within the group saw dancers with experience in coaching cheerleading at a national level, a few with black belts in their respective martial arts and some with years of classical training.
Rhythmicity also included guest performances by PoisE'n, Travel Art Dance Company and Xplicit Ways. These items contributed to the show's success, which saw us perform to a full house on the last night. Choreography List: 1. Fever 2. Hypergadget 3. Double Act - FlaresE'n 4. Primeval Savagery 5.
