I mean, could you imagine spinning like a whirling dervish in those platforms and taking a major spill on opening night? And she is of the age where bones are less able to withstand falls... Anyway, I'm hopeful that once they work out the technical kinks and as she gets more familiar with the pacing of the show, that she will start to loosen up...

The tech problems are unacceptable, IMO. A band of this caliber & their sound guys can't get it right? Have they not been rehearsing for severl weeks?

And I get what you're saying about the risk of injury with spinning. I say, DON'T SPIN. Dance around in place, whip your shawl around, do that shimmy move. Don't make a few awkward turns. It really did look like it was slo-mo.
