Artvoice Video for Dance Your Art Off!

At the event Dance Your Art Off we spun LED props and Flags at various locations around the dance floor to enhance the Dj performances and create an interesting backdrop.

From Artvoice:
Dance Your Art Off, as the name suggests, is first a dance party and then an art party. Town Ballroom was transformed into an avant garde dance palace where respected deep house star John Ceglia and Buffalo-based artist DJ Cutler spun breakbeat, funk, hip hop, and deep house all night.
