BIO

The Lunachix manifest under the light of a full moon in 2013. These "Showgirls of the Future" convene in Oneonta, NY since contracts for their Vegas residency have yet to be finalized. Whether presenting baudy murder mystery variety revues or wreaking emotional dance havoc, the Lunachix are guided by their profound friendship and a spirit of creative collaboration. They are just as happy dancing in (maybe on?) a dive bar as they are on prestigious festival and theater stages, just so long as they get to be together.
The Lunachix are choreographed by Rose Calavera and Jo Boring. Director Jo Boring is also a co-owner of Team Belly Set Go Dance Studio. The studio offers adult dance classes in person and online.
