Date and Venue Thursday May 14, 2015 at 12 noon | Scotiabank Dance Centre, 677 Davie St Reviewer Ed Farolan This company has been in existence for quite some time, and it's a family affair, as we found out during the 15-minute Q&A session. The father leads the troupe, then there's the daughter and the niece. Another member was probably the son-in-law, and lo and behold, a Canadian who introduced himself as "Dan from BC's rainforest" was the outsider in this family. As always, Discover Dance is educational. We learned all kinds of instruments, mostly percussion, but then there's one that's called "berimbao",a single-string percussion instrument, a musical bow, roriginally from Africa. Audience participation (almost a full house) was also involved and we were asked to clap and dance. But we only clapped. No one wanted to go up and dance, although I noticed some were dancing in their seats. This was another enjoyable noon hour fromThe Dance Centre’s Discover Dance series. © 2015 Ed Farolan
