their dinosaurs great.

The kids, 12-18, are so skilled and entertaining.

Whoa!
 

4
And the dinosaurs, HA!
 

5
I couldn't stop laughing, along with them.
 

6
So close,
and with kids in the audience
sitting on the floor, ringside.
 

7
Moving as one like an octopus.

Though you won't see the dinosaurs, so funny,
in their three minute preview video, you'll see a lot,
so you'll have to go to the show to see the dinosaurs,
such a tease. See a video of the show, their
summer schedule and get tickets HERE
If you get a chance to see it, go!
Take kids. It has my highest
recommendation. -Bruce
