Excellent highly talented cast of dancers. Everyone was spectacular. There seemed to be quite a few long intermissions though that did not seem necessary. One dancer fell which had to be very hard for him but he got right back up and finished the show with grace. I would see this company again as it is amazing what they can do. And thanks Goldstar for some pretty amazing seats.Written on Oct 26 2009

talented ensemble, but it is probably the least diverse group that I have experienced in Berkeley. Totally white, and totally similar body types. I suppose because this is the Balanchine ideal.Enjoyed the Bejart piece the most!Written on Oct 26 2009
