Spare Frame. Grab those stylin' shoes and the 12-pound ball out of the closet; it's time for Strike Night. Bowling is a favorite American pastime and when coupled with pizza and beer, there's seldom a better way to spend the evening. Knock over some pins at Andy B's RiverLanes, 8711 S. Lewis Ave., and help support the Tulsa Sports Commission. Friends and family can come out and cheer on the best bowler in town during this annual fundraiser. The ball gets rolling at 4pm and the frames finish up at 6pm. Visit tulsaports.org for more information.

Curious Movement. Watching a dancer float through the air and gracefully come back down to earth has never been so mesmerizing. Dreams Dammed is not the traditional twinkle toe ballet or rhythmic tap found in studios across the nation. Audiences are in for a treat and a little surprise as these performers pay homage to Butoh using playful or sometimes grotesque choreography to explore beauty. Donned in white body makeup, this performance is bound to cause a stir when it slides on stage at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, 110 E. 2nd St., March 4-5 at 8pm. Be prepared for something a little out of the ordinary in this Living Arts dance presentation for the New Genre Arts Festival XVIII. Visit tulsapac.com for more information.

Crank it Out. One of the hottest duos in country is making their way to T-Town and the night is going to be off the charts.

A little rock and a lot of red dirt, these two stars know how to party on their Incredible Machine tour and still manage to pull a few heartstrings with "Shine the Light" and "Stand Back Up." The sparks start flying at 7:30pm. Visit bokcenter.com for more information.

Flashing Fun. Fun masks, plenty of drink and rockin' good music are just a few of the enticements on Mardi Gras. Do a little jig in the Blue Dome District while watching a parade of eccentric costumes and intriguing floats stroll down Elgin. The parade starts at 7pm but the fun doesn't end there. Dance into Enso and Electric Circus at 1st and Detroit for a bead-throwing kind of night. DJ Moody and DJ Dilation will be serving up the tunes while patrons work their feathered Mardi Gras masks.
