TAMUNING, Guam<\/strong> \u2014 On Oct. 21 and 22, the Guam Dance Community changed up the island\u2019s dance scene and took to the stage with their very first Halloween-themed dance production, Frightmare.<\/p>\n

The Tamuning-based dance company presented intricate concert pieces that featured different Halloween themes, from scary movies to iconic horror characters.<\/p>\n

Most of the dancers featured in the show are prime members of the group, but a huge part of GDC\u2019s vision is to inspire all dancers on the island.<\/p>\n

Their production also featured numbers from high school dance clubs, such as JFK, St. Paul and Guahan Academy Charter School.<\/p>\n

Frightmare consisted of Act I and II, each showcasing creative dance pieces that told a spooky story, keeping audience members on their toes.<\/p>\n

Act II\u2019s \u201cBriarcliff\u201d was the fan favorite of Kayla Eata, a former GDC member who watched both shows. \u201cBriarcliff\u201d presents the story of a young man as he\u2019s admitted into an asylum and the ominous events that follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe theme that they were trying to execute was portrayed really well,\u201d Eata said. \u201c[It] was really enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another dance number that had the audience cheering was \u201cHocus Pocus,\u201d a take on the popular Disney film featuring GDC\u2019s own version of the Sanderson Sisters. Not only were the dancers\u2019 costumes and makeup up to par, their performance was just as comedic and entertaining.<\/p>\n

Michelle Mafnas, a GDC member and choreographer, said one of her favorite numbers was \u201cThe Coven,\u201d which she said was technically challenging for some of the dancers.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of our dancers are hip-hop based,\u201d Mafnas said. \u201cIt was really interesting to see everyone do something that was really out of their realm.\u201d<\/p>\n

As one of the choreographers, Mafnas said she can tell that this concert really helped the dancers showcase their strengths and overcome their weaknesses, and allowed everyone to grow and expand their horizons.<\/p>\n

Mafnas also mentioned that the pre-production phase of the performance challenged her creative side.<\/p>\n

\u201cHearing that a lot of people understood the storyline and enjoyed the numbers \u2014 it was really different and really exciting for me,\u201d said Mafnas, as she explained the creative process. \u201cIt inspired me to do more and push my limits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFright Club\u201d and \u201cThe Purge\u201d were two perfect examples of GDC\u2019s creativity in motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cFright Club\u201d followed the GDC teen members as they journeyed through a slumber party gone haywire. The dance number featured horror characters, such as Freddy and Jason. \u201cThe Purge\u201d featured GDC adult members dressed as characters from the famous movie series.<\/p>\n

Not only did the group manage to entertain the audience with their dance moves and storylines, but they also executed a great amount of thrill.<\/p>\n

When asked if she would watch another show by GDC, Eata agreed in a heartbeat. \u201cThis group never disappoints when they perform because they always bring it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
