"All that Latin Jazz"
Dianamite and Ascension Teams with Guest dancer Naoko Yamamoto
Genre: Latin Jazz
Inspired by Chicago Musical / Remixed by Dianamite
Main costume by Tomoko Morikawa.
LA Salsa Congress
Latin Jazz Dianamite Ladies Shine Team
from Tokyo / California
Genre: Salsa / Latin Jazz
Note: This routine we won 1st place at Casino's Japan Cup 2009. It is still one of the most memorable pieces I have created. Costumes by Kike and Anthony.
Club Diana Event
Latin Dianamite Team
Genre: Salsa
Dancers: Yuko, Ai, Yayoi, Emi, Diana
Note: This routine we won 2nd place at Casino's Japan Cup 2011. This song has such a raw, traditional, and rhythmic feel that I wanted to make this really sassy, classy, and Latin. Costumes by Kike.
Dianamite de Bachaton
Dianamite at the Bachata Festival
Genre: Bachata / Reggaeton / Latin Jazz
Note: It is really challenging to make an all ladies Bachata shine routine, so I mixed a bit of reggaeton in it. Dianamite likes to sometimes do something different than salsa because it is more relaxed and free!
Costumes by Kike Yamakawa.
"What a Difference a Day Made"
song by Tito Puente and La India
Latin Jazz Dianamite Team performing at Junior and Emily's Special Party by Casino
Costumes by Kike and Anthony.
Lady Organika at Club Diana
Lady Organika performing MJ Tribute. Dancers: Diana, Kumiko, Naoko
Note: I worked with an amazing designer for this costume. Thank you Anthony for your soul, eye, and flavor! On another interesting note, all of the three dancers including me, are now teaching yoga :) Namaste!
