Watch a video of Bennyroyce Royon's TAKE 4 performed last Summer at Jacob's Pillow by Rasta Thomas and the Bad Boys of Dance. Read about the competition for Ballet Nouveau Colorado that Benny is involved in. After watching on YouTube, rate the video (five stars, svp!) and leave comments. [Photo: The Winger].
Now, how do we get to see this here in New York City? Joyce SoHo? Fall for Dance? Other ideas?
“..Royon’s world premiere quartet “Take 4″ was dynamite. It featured edgier music (by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Herbert), and a provocative setup, beginning and ending in stark squares of light. The four dancers came alive as if someone had just wound them up, and they exploded into movement that pushed at the edges — jazzy, hip-hop-flavored isolations, corkscrew turns, capoeira-influenced floorwork, and an unapologetic in-your-face bravado.” - Karen Campbell, The Boston Globe, July 31, 2007.
Thank you for writing up about me. This means a lot! Keep in touch!

Hi Benny, thanks for checking out my blog. I saw you at Cedar Lake earlier this month but I was too shy to say hi. Loved your Mohawk-hat, though...
