“I remember it all very well, lookin' back

Ain’t Done Bad is a story of becoming. Winner of the 2021 Orlando Fringe Festival Critics’ Choice Award, the show takes inspiration from the story told by Reba McEntire in her signature hit “Fancy” and features the vivid, revelatory music of Orville Peck. Ain’t Done Bad explores the experience of growing up, coming out, and finding love, using dance to celebrate the journey of leaving shame behind to embrace your authentic, vulnerable voice, all without speaking a word.

COVID-19 Prevention Policy

Yes indeed we are the only venue in Orlando that we know of that still requires proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test taken within 6 hours. You can also take a rapid test in front of us at the door. And if you don’t like it, go somewhere else :-).

ABOUT THE ARTIST (he’s kind of famous.)

Originally from Orlando, Florida, Jakob had the pleasure of growing up around theme parks and watching dancers from a very young age. At twelve years old he began dancing and the rest is history!

Some of his credits include:

Cirque Du Soleil’s VOLTA; So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 - Runner Up; The RADIO CITY New York Spectacular (Mia Michaels); Rock the Ballet; VIVA ELVIS by Cirque Du Soleil; Kiss Me Kate at Barrington Stage; The 82nd Annual Academy Awards; America’s Got Talent; GLEE; Company XIV
