I am in a show!

It is Springtime in Paris.  When you get out of Metro Porte Dorée, you see this.  Walk a little farther and you are at le Palais, where we perform this weekend.

Studio Magenia is performing at the Cite Nationale de L'Histoire de L'Immigration (CNHI for short).  This spring, or printemps, the CNHI is focusing on polish immigration.  Since Ella, our instructor and the owner/founder of Magenia, is from Poland, this story is close to her heart.
We are basically doing a symbolic dance, with some mime movements.
Here les garcons are rehearsing their opening section, in which they are working hard on ships, and on land in a new country.  You can also see (and especially hear) Ella. 
And this is some romantic dancing, much of it improvisational, in a different room of the building Palais de Porte Dorée.
Obviously you don't see me in these sections, since I do not have the super power of Filming Myself While Performing.
