2/14/12: La Vie Parisienne: Bal de la St-Valentin 2012

As Oscar Wilde once put it: "When good Americans die, they go to Paris". This Valentine's Day, you won't have to travel far to experience the charm of Paris, as Dances of Vice proudly presents LA VIE PARISIENNE: Saint Valentine's Day Ball 2012 at one of New York City's most romantic wedding venues, Riverside Church.

LA VIE PARISIENNE features Benjamin Ickies' 20-piece This Ambitious Orchestra, which will be performing music to set your heart aflame - from classic French chanson to raunchy can can and other love ballads. Joining the orchestra in the spotlight will be the alluring showgirls of Lady Circus, Manhattan's midnight temptress Medianoche, and special guests. In addition, renowned video artist Holly Daggers of Wet Circuit will set the visual backdrop for an evening in the City of Love.

1/28/12: The Diamond Ace II @ Public Assembly

Dances of Vice calls all dangerous women, fugitive lovers, dashing desperadoes, lonely detectives and ne’er-do-wells are to the sequel to last year’s crime noir soiree “The Diamond Ace”, a 1960s themed salute to classic film noir at Public Assembly executed in grand pulp style. 

Sponsored in part by New York crime fiction publisher Hard Case Crime, “The Diamond Ace II” promises a night of mystery, passion, suspense and seduction with live crime jazz and film noir music by Morricone Youth. 

New York femme fatales Bettina May, Ruby Valentine and Tansy Tandora weave tales of violence and temptation before your eyes, and DJs Michael Leviton and Devon E. Levins provide a killer soundtrack for your dancing pleasure until the early hours.

Hard Case Crime prizes will be awarded to the most thematic dressed attendees.
