Break dance Your Way Through Medora

 The featured attraction was "High Voltage," a street dancing team which has been on various shows, including America's Got Talent, Ellen, and Step Up 3D.  (They also apparently were dancers for Justin Bieber, which elicited squeals from the young ladies in the audience.)  They were engaging, and talented dancers, and were the only people of color in the entire amphitheater.  They got the loudest cheers of the evening, and were a nice complement to the not-exactly representational manifest destiny Americana of the musical. One of the dudes on stilts had a broken wrist, and his cast was a spiderman design.  They also did a human centipede, which was kind of
creepy.  But everything else was rad.

  1. Amazing. Of course they were the only people of color there. What do you think the implications are there about possessing the North Dakota Spirit/being haunted by Teddy Roosevelt?

  2. Mostly heartburn. That's what I've found so far...
