Linden named"The Machine"from "Petite Suite" as her favorite number in the program."It's intentlotially <br /> awkward with lots of falling,upper body movements and changes in direction. The rhythms are very iiiiique - <br /> hard to hit. She's always looking for something new . . .That's what makes her choreography so inters,t i ng," <br /> Linden said. <br /> "It's more like an adrenaline shot than a challenge," Medler said of the ensemble getting to know choreo gra- <br /> phers like Dorrance and their work. "I think the sky's the limit.They get excited and they want to be creative <br /> themselves." Linden and Matrazzo have done just that by creating the dance "Best Hip Hop Violin Beat in the <br /> World," which opens "Rhythm Evolved." <br /> Another guest artist,Matthew Shields,will demonstrate a particular tap style. "He's a slider. He slides.­ \ledler <br /> said. Instead of propelling himself with non-stop tapping,he uses his taps to glide. "It's one of the fe,,% nays tap <br /> dancers can sustain a note," Medler adds. <br /> The program also acknowledges tap's roots with choreography by Charles "Hopi" Coles anc. "The Gmidos <br /> Brothers' Indian Routine,"the dance Matrazzo named as her favorite in the program. Ensemble men,hers Luke <br /> Hickey and Max Vigotov perform it Saturday and Hickey and Austin Shank take the stage on Sunda� "It's so <br /> technically challenging. It's very innovative,so athletic,fast and extremely intriate," Matrazzo said. <br />
