While I enjoyed the dancers, the pleasant surprise of the evening was Willie K. I had no idea that his vocal talents were so diverse. His performance was simply awesome. It was my first time at this particular venue (Ford Amphitheatre), and I found it charming and intimate.

This was such a professional, joyful group of dancers that were in amazing unison throughout their dances. I have never seen dancers move so fast but be totally in the music and feel of the dance. And Uncle Willie K was unknown to me, however, he has become memorable now. His guitar was like part of him and not a separate instrument, just like his gifted, versatile voice. The evening was such a joy.

Fantastic show with amaaaazing artists. Dancers were absolutely phenomenal and Willie K was/still is, one of the best entertainers around! The whole show left us "wanting for more!!". Luckily the theatre was small, so our seats, even though they were towards the back and on the side, were still pretty good to see everything.
