Wonderful performance. The pieces were emotional and stirring. The choreography required a lot of strength and stamina as well as talent. It was demanding, and the company kept up easily.

The final piece was unexpected and fun.

Highly recommended.

It was wonderfully entertaining. The strength and technique the dancers had was amazing. They made it look effortless. I also enjoyed the tricks with the lighting and the simplicity of the set.

This is a great show. The contrast between each of the dances is extremely impactful. Brought tears to my eyes at times. The choreography is very well put together becoming very dark and eery at times but then complemented by very beautiful and at times humorous pieces.
