Rhythmic Circus, the explosive Twin Cities dance and tap ensemble, brings their critically acclaimed production of "Feet Don’t Fail Me Now!" back to the Pantages Theatre. Dubbed the "Fastest Feet in Town" in the Star Tribune's 2011 Artists of the Year list, these Rhythmic Circus shows are the only chance to see the troupe locally as they gather support for a residency at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August and an upcoming, planned Off-Broadway run. Rhythmic Circus delivers a high-spirited, not-to-be-missed, genre-bending show mixing hip-hop, funk, rock, blues, salsa, soul and percussive tap dance.

With performer/directors Ricci Milan and Nick Bowman joined by dancers Kaleena Miller and Galen Higgens plus seven top-notch musicians including Alex Rossi and Aaron "Heatbox" Heaton, Rhythmic Circus energizes their innovative live performance with a blend of hard-hitting dance and tap, high-spirited humor, finger-snapping tunes and globally ranging percussive beats.

Formed in 2007, the Minneapolis-based group is hot from winning two recent SAGE Dance Awards for Outstanding Dance Performance and Outstanding Dance Ensemble and earning “Best Dance Performance of the Year” by City Pages. They have collaborated with the local choral ensemble Vocal Essence, appeared in the 2008 Crash Bang Boom! Festival at Orchestra Hall and recently collaborated with Bremer Bank, creating an all-original song and music video to raise money for Second Harvest Heartland. Their current production of "Feet Don’t Fail Me Now!," also a CD/cast recording, premiered at the Ritz Theatre in Minneapolis. The Star Tribune called their "...non-stop percussive funkytown madness...flat out amazing."
