"Won Tan Nara Drum & Dance Ensemble is a high energy, extremely talented and totally motivated group of individuals. Mixing the power of the musicians with the fresh choreography of the dancers, their performance is awesome.
And then there is Alseny-a truly amazing athletic performer with a stage presence that can keep an audience captivated for what seems like forever, and then bring them to their feet cheering for more. I hope those who have seen what they bring to the world of performance art, know just how lucky they are. At the fifteenth annual 2009 Dance for a Reason benefit concert, they were the finale performance. I watched 1800 people standing, screaming, as they watched this group show what great entertainment is all about."
