Review of "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" By Rhythmic Circus

Every person has certain things that he or she enjoys. Perhaps tap dancing is enjoyed. Perhaps percussion concerts are enjoyed. Perhaps beatboxing is enjoyed. Maybe it is comedy that is enjoyed. However, what if all this could be combined into one show along with more? Would that show be a mess or something spectacular?

My whole family got to find out the answer when we went to see "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" by Rhythmic Circus as part of the Banners Series. The Banners Series site for Rhythmic Circus has a review from HowWastheShow.com that says "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" is like putting tap dancing, jazz, funk, film noir, and comedy into a blender.

While this is true in a way, the show was more amazing than that makes it sound. Four dancers seem to move effortlessly on the stage. A seven piece band, including an extremely skilled beatboxer (Heatbox) is also part of the show. There's a creative announcer. Recording and looping is used to help set up some parts of the show, but this is never hidden.

The raw talent put together is what makes the show amazing. The modern day technology is nice, but this show proves that is the raw talent - dancing, movement, making sounds - and the use of instruments that will always stand the test of time, that truly put a show together.

The most difficult part was understand some of what Ricci Milan said at times simply because he talked so quickly. There was nothing wrong with his performance. It was amazing.

It is great watching the other dancers, Nick Bowman, Kaleena Miller, and Eddie Strachan.

While the show would be great with just these, the other musicians, Alex Rossi, Corry Blanchard, Patrick Nelson, Dan Ristrom, Jason Marks, Eliot Blaufuss, and, Peter Vircks, make the show over-the-top incredible.

Tickets to "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" seem to run from $10 to $45. At that price, if you can see a production of "Feet Don't Fail Me Now," it needs to be seen. It will be an experience you never forget.

Children should be brought to the show, too. This way they can see that there is more than television and technological gadgets in life. They can learn that these things are good, but it is important to celebrate real people.
