Thanks for all your support! The show went really well at the Laugh Factory, and the turnout was great!
If you couldn't make it, I have uploaded to my profile seven ten-minute segments from this outstanding variety show featuring Old Time Music, magic, dance, comedy and fun!
Muchas gracias por el add!!! I love your work, specially because in this world I usually find pretentious people with cliché ideas, but your work has a lot of sense of humour, it's very personal and profesional... I'd love to see you dancing some day in Spain or Mexico :-) Good luck with everything
Hello Chris, i stopped here, to watch your videos, they are absolutely amazing. The coreographies, the armony of the movements. I admire your control over your body. Thank you so much for my add as your friend. I hope some day to meet you personally, and knowing more about your work and art.
