Cool Indian Costume Photo from Indian Wedding Performance

Danced at an Indian wedding last night.  I choreographed a new routine for Chez-zam Event Group.  We had to learn the routine in the morning and we performed it that night.  Nobody took a video and we were in such a rush, I never bothered to video tape the rehearsal!!!!!  Ugggh….. 
Liked my costume, though.

Hi, Peeps,

I’ve been working with a high-end/high-profile event company called Chez-zam Event Group as a dancer since 2001, a dance captain since 2002, and a choreographer since 2003.  I’m now head choreographer.

Here are some recent photos I found of myself from Chez-zam Event Group’s Facebook page.  Fun times!!!

Enjoy!

CEG Indian Holiday Bash

CEG did a huge all Indian Bash for the holidays.  The night went fast and we did quite a few numbers including a Madonna Revue, a Latin Revue, and an Indian Bollywood Hip Hop Revue.  I put up the MJ Tribute which included Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean, Beat It, and of course, my favorite, Thriller.  Here’s a photo sent to me of me and Laura from CEG and my new Indian friend (in the back) who staged the Indian number.  Enjoy!

Jazz Ain’t Dead Photo of the Day

Jazz Ain’t Dead dancers Jerome Melsaun Warren and Candice Michelle Franklin guests at Onaje Allan Gumbs II New Vintage performance at BAM, April 6, 2013.  Enjoy!

A Great Night at BAM Café with Onaje Allan Gumbs

Jazz Ain’t Dead principle dancers, Candice Michelle Franklin and Jerome Melsaun Warren, performed a fantastic duet at BAM Café last Saturday night, April 6 for Onaje Allan Gumbs Presents New Vintage.  It was a star-studded evening filled with fabulous musicians well-heeled in the Jazz scene as well as a wonderful array of singers and poets featured on the program.  The venue was crazy packed, over capacity.  People could not get in unless someone left; it was just that crowded.

Accompanying Candice and Jerome was the talented vocal artist Angela Johnson singing lead vocals and Gregoire Maret on harmonica as well as Gary Fritz on congas, Enoch Jamal Strickland on drums, Roger Byam on sax, and Gregory M. Jones on bass.  Other talented artists performing throughout the evening included Jean Caze, Mem Nahadr (Vocalist and Friend of JAD), Abiodun Oyewole, Toni Blackman, Alano, LuQuan Graham, Darien Dean, Jordan Young, Autumn Ashante, and Tai Allen.
