“Cat Suits and Hurricanes is where the inundation of gale and cyclonic forces are translated into a ballroom dance competition. Storm warning flags fly stretched out  to the horizontal as various couples spin away. A storm surge washes across the parquet as Katrina churns at New Orleans. Then comes Rita, Hugo and Andrew. Everything is awash as craw-dads and crabs parade umbrellas in their claws." - Ken Mabrey -
