ALBANY — Ballroom, break and Afro-Brazilian dance converge in Ephrat Asherie's daring and delightful "Odeon," which her company performed Saturday evening at the University at Albany Performing Arts Center. Set to a selection of work by Ernesto Nazareth—with musical direction by Ephrat's brother Ehud—the evening-length work is a nonstop celebration.
