Infusing contemporary African dance forms with jolts of high fashion and street culture, the mesmerizing Julie Dossavi from France presents a collection of solos and duets accompanied by live African percussion, voice and electronics. "It was (Dossavi’s) mastery of subtlety and nuance that stood out…Much of this had to do with Dossavi’s assured presence which repeatedly - and rightfully - has been called mesmerizing.” -Los Angeles Times      Dance Umbrella was founded in 1977 in Austin as a non-profit organization to promote and encourage the knowledge, appreciation, practice and performance of dance.
