The dancers are hot and the audience is not expected to remain still for this show. Dale Scholl Dance/Art?s “Movin? to Motown” will have you movin? and groovin? to the beat through the entire evening.

Movin? to Motown opened at the Dancespace in Solano Hall last Wednesday night paying tribute to one of the country?s all time leading record labels, Motown Records. “The show has great energy. It was very well choreographed and well danced,” said Renee Lesti, an enthusiastic member of the audience who was also a former dancer with the Dale Scholl Dance/Art Company.

The choreographers, Dale Scholl, Johnathan Cameron and Eric Vianelle pooled their expertise in creating this spectacular dance show.

Dancers brought the audience back to the 70s with explosive performances to music from The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Stevie Wonder, The Commodores and Lionel Richie.

The dancers, Johnathan Cameron, Lisa Hermann, Kimberly Rowlett, Joseph Candelaria, Melissa Moore, Christi Falconer, Jennifer Morsilli and Tomica Taylor combined modern jazz, ballet and natural talent as they captivated the audience with their powerful and provocative numbers.

In the first half of the show, Jennifer Morsilli turns on the energy with a series of Fouette turns.

And speaking of provocative numbers, sinewy dancer Johnathan Cameron, combined talents with dancer Lisa Hermann in a seductive dance that had the audience begging for more.

Joan Liddicoat did an awesome job on the lighting and sound design.

Not much can be said of this high-powered show, other than the dancers make dancing look easy. But as Scholl said herself, “they have put many hours of practice in this production.”

And that is evident to anyone who is fortunate enough to catch this act.

This is a show that will make you feel good all over.

Movin? to Motown will continue through Nov. 18 at 8 p.m., in the Dancespace Theatre at Solano Hall. For more information call the Dance/Art box office at (916) 451-3732.
