Shaia Dance Collective

Shaia (sha-ee-ah) is a Romany – Basque Gypsy word for Sister.  Our Rochester, MN based group consists of professional and semi-professional Middle Eastern dancers. 

Our styles range from Classical Egyptian to Tribal Fusion, and everything in-between including Hula. 

We are based out of Rochester International Dance Studio and offer classes and lesson/parties for adults and kids.

 

Nodding Wild Onions

The Nodding Wild Onions is a local band made up of a variable group of musicians, committed to crossover blues as both a genre and a philosophy.

The band is named after “Allium cernuum,” the pesky endangered onion species once found at what is now the bottom of Chester Woods Lake. Like its namesake, the band is both rare and tenacious, hanging on in spite of limited exposure, disappearing habitat, and widespread indifference.

For the RLuau, the NWO will consist of professional musicians Laurie Helmers (lead vocals), Joe Mish (bass), and Roger Nelson (lead guitar and vocals), along with Randy Crawford (rhythm guitar and vocals), Mike McMullin (trumpet, rhythm guitar, harmonica, and vocals), and Phil Wheeler (finger-style guitar and vocals), each of whom has been paid to play music on at least one occasion.  

The band plays familiar songs and some original material, including such future smash hits as “Micro-surgical Vasectomy Reversal,” “Tall Drink of Water,” and “Comb-Over Intervention.”
