(To play video click on small POD button in upper left corner)

Here it is, part two of this year's video of the incredible Fire Island Dance Festival. 

It's kind of a jumble of still and moving images from rehearsals, performances and back stage, but then the Festival itself is such an incredibly jam packed weekend of so much going on if you are working it that, this is, to a great extent, what it feels like.

The dance companies featured this year included:

-Alvin Ailey American Dance Company
-Atlanta Ballet
-Bad Boys of Dance & Jerry Mitchell
-Ballet Hispanico
-Jermaine Browne
-Dance Plus Ballroom
-Vernard J. Gilmore
-Jacoby and Pronk
-Jennifer Muller/The Works
-Parsons Dance
-Jason Samuels Smith
-Ellis Wood Dance

(Note: OccasionalFag Brian G. and Ellis Wood danced together in the same piece back when he was in grad school at UCBerkeley!  And yes it was great to see her again.)

The hosts this year for were Whoopi Goldberg and Caroline Rhea.

Performing at the Leadership Party (which was in video part one) were Felicia Finley and Jose Llana.
