When reminding audiences to silence phones and not take pictures, Groovaloo's DJ should add, "Don't try this at home!" After all, once the high-flying dancers start spinning on their heads and jumping backwards off staircases, it looks like fun. Well, practicality is not the point — inspiration is. Groovaloo is the live-action, poetry-jamming history of an 11-year-old hip-hop troupe from LA by the same name. The spontaneity of street dance loses nothing indoors with a script and rehearsal time; best of all, the connection with the audience never wavers. The pre-recorded voices of the original Groovaloos telling their stories mirror A Chorus Line, and both shows — as with dancing, whether on the street or in a studio — are all about being yourself.
