The Raving Jaynes: Improvised Dance Theatre!
Amy Larimer & Jamie Graham started out as classically-trained professional dancers. Several years ago they were seduced by the dark sparkle of improv comedy and became the Raving Jaynes — a dynamic female duo mixing dance, improv, song and physical theater to tell entirely improvised stories! Nothing is choreographed! Nothing is scripted!
