Tina and Bryan will be performing a routine they choreographed together to the song "Black Rattler" by The Carl Sonny Leyland Trio meets Nathan James & Ben Hernandez (yeah, that's the full artist name). And yes, I know that's not Bryan in the picture. But Mike will do as a substitute until I get a different picture from them.

The Sirens - Sultry, seductive, raw. In Greek mythology, the Sirens' songs lured sailors to their death. If a song can make you crash your ship, just imagine what these Sirens can do with their dance.

They are an eclectic and international group of women: Bryn Morin, Devona Cartier, Heidi Fite, Liz Stone, Michelle Richter, Summer Shapiro, and Tina Davis. They'll be performing to "Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby" by Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris & Gillian Welch. Choreography for this piece by Liz Stone.
