TRAILER:
LA Dance Moves, directed by Nancy Paradis​, is thrilled to collaborate with award-winning filmmaker and composer Frederick Keeve in this intimate and innovative live filming and concert.
The LA Dance Moves Experience is a concept-based theme work, in which the composer is part of the choreography in order to intimately bind the music with the dancers.
Performing in-the-moment with live, improvisational piano, you will witness art being created in real time as the dancers respond to Frederick's music for the first time. You will be part of an improvisational piano and dance concert of visual and emotional beauty.
In addition, you will be the first to see another unique concept work in a duet, which was created to honor Frederick's music and will be submitting to dance and film festivals this year.
Filmed by industry icon Jerry Evans of JLE Media Group, you will see the inner workings of the filming process and artistic direction on stage that usually happen behind the scenes.​​​​

Review
Back to the Heart Feature Documentary with Original Score
“Excellent effort and execution of merging music and dance. I liked the offerings from the participants re: how and what motivates them. They emphasize the importance of 'trust' and how this informs the improv aspects of the productions. Integration of piano music and dance movements was visual poetry for me. The pacing was deliberate with the three separate movements and in movement III, interesting use of a lit candle to show the light we share and give to one another. Technically masterful - felt like I was watching live theater - dancers at times appear to melt into one another. This may not be for everyone - but for anyone who appreciates music and dance - it is original and beautiful!”
