HQ Review: St. Louis Rhythm Collaborative’s “Live at the Last Hotel”
STL Rhythm Collaborative opened its season with Live at the Last Hotel, performed at Missouri Baptist University, October 6-8. This unique show featured tap, jazz, and modern dancers made up of company dancers and trainees from moSTLy Tap, Washington University dance students, Missouri Baptist University dance students, and individual dancers from the St. Louis community. They all shared the stage with The Hard Bop Messengers, who provided the live jazz music onstage for the entire performance.
