The performers at the Charleston Performing Arts Center have a Fever, and you’re going to want to catch this one!

I had a chance to meet with C-PAC CEO Scott Pfeiffer and his talented cast to discuss their latest show, Fever, and what it takes to bring a dance production to the stage. Give a listen and enjoy some pictures of these incredible artists.

“FEVER” is a celebration of the songs and singers that changed the course of sexual expression for women. It is a tribute to the courage, the sensuality, and the empowered approach of these groundbreaking women.

Best of Charleston finalists

Steven Cardinal

boc15 For the second year in a row, MOD Love, Kinetic Hifi, and MOD Love’s co-hosts, Steven Cardinal and Jodi Riley, have been named finalists in Charleston City Paper’s Best of Charleston awards. Jodi, with a little help from a friend, put together a helpful little video to tell you where to vote and how to find us. We hope you’ll take a moment and head to the voting site and leave us your votes. You will have to create an account to vote (their way of preventing fraud).
