      <description>&lt;p&gt;iLuminate is currently touring Central Asia! We just arrived in Kazakhstan
after spending almost two weeks in Kyrgystan. While in Kyrgystan, we performed
and taught master classes in Bishkek and Karakol, all of which, were truly amazing
experiences!  &lt;a href=&quot;/blog/#iluminate-tours-central-asia&quot; class=&quot;read-more&quot;&gt;read&amp;nbsp;more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The new year has begun and iLuminate continues to light up the stage in every corner of the world. Who is off limits to this incredible dance driven light show? Apparently, no one!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lovely first lady, Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden extended an invitation for us to perform for the 2013 Kid&apos;s Inaugural Concert and we quickly accepted.  &lt;a href=&quot;/blog/#iluminate-at-the-kids-inaugural-concert&quot; class=&quot;read-more&quot;&gt;read&amp;nbsp;more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;iLuminate was asked to perform at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.websterhall.com/&quot;&gt;Webster Hall&lt;/a&gt; on New Year&apos;s Eve. We performed the same set we performed on the Wendy Williams show, and the audience loved it! The place was packed with screaming NYE partiers, and they went crazy as soon as the dancers stepped on the stage! The rest of our dancers and crew watched from our VIP balcony on the top floor. Afterwards, we all rang in the New Year together with an iLuminate bang.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Happy New Year everyone!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&quot;It was a blast!!&quot;
-- J Rock Nelson&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;I loved it and really hope we do it again next year!&quot;
-- Mary Cebrian&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Today we had the amazing opportunity of performing for our iLuminate family! Several of our dancers, techs, and wardrobe from our traveling teams came to see our matinee. It was such a pleasure to perform for them and have their support in the audience! We also felt the pressure, because our family are our hardest critics.  &lt;a href=&quot;/blog/#iluminate-together-again&quot; class=&quot;read-more&quot;&gt;read&amp;nbsp;more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Some of our dancers performed in Times Square today to promote &quot;Artist of Light.&quot; We attracted quite the crowd, and even had some audience participation! Such a fun and exciting way to get the news out about our fabulous off-Broadway show! Here are some pictures. &lt;a href=&quot;led-close&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our Technical Director, Dean, and a few members of our tech team have been stuck in New Jersey without power, so you can imagine how anxious we are considering all of what we do requires electricity!  &lt;a href=&quot;/blog/#hurricane-sandy&quot; class=&quot;read-more&quot;&gt;read&amp;nbsp;more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The choreography process always starts with the script and then from there we begin visualizing things that can only be seen in the dark.  &lt;a href=&quot;/blog/#jrock-on-choreography-process&quot; class=&quot;read-more&quot;&gt;read&amp;nbsp;more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
