Dance-a-raoke | HOLIDAY HANGOVER EDITION
Keep that champagne-bubbly feeling going at Dance-a-raoke - 92YTribeca's audience-participation movement sensation! Katharine Heller -- hilarious, sexy and full of spontaneous energy - is this month's guest host, along with the ever-fabulous "Miss Fortune." Together, they host a motley crew of dancers and audience members, who perform tests of stamina, wit, gumption and some awesome dance moves. Heller's "live action romance novel," The Boy in the Basement, was presented at the 2008 New York International Fringe Festival to critical acclaim.

DEF POETRY JAM'S RIVES

The "first 2.0 poet" Rives takes poetry and makes it do backflips. His passions are simple: the importance of the story and the charms of the human voice. In this sneak peek of his upcoming How to Trespass in New York City, Rives starts out as the man at the microphone and ends up mixing movie clips with love poems, audience participation and even Latin (as in "carpe diem").
