At this time, we have a special Halloween performance for you! Please clear the front of the floor and sit down behind that line (we'll have people mark the space).

Jodaam is a new fusion dance performance group based in Mountain View. The name is an amalgamation of the Portuguese words for Play (Joga), Dance (Dansa), and Love (Ama). Jodaam was recently created by Anna Botelho, who started the dance program at Google, and a former teacher here at Friday Night Waltz, to give parents and friends a time to dance together.

Tonight's very special piece includes both Jodaam members and friends from the community. The music is "Grim Grinning Ghosts", which you might recognize from the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. JackG's electroswing remix inspired this choreography that features many different dance styles, from swing and waltz to hip hop and Irish Ceili dancing. Please welcome Jodaam!
