This was so worth the trip into the city. All of the dancers and pieces were amazing. The second piece was the one that I think most of us enjoyed based on the applause. It was amazing. There were also a few moments of silence (no music) with dancing which were moving and enhanced the experience. I will certainly see this group again as I was very impressed. Some of the seats though make it hard to see the entire stage at once. Placements of the seats puts people's heads in your way.Written on Aug 28 2009

Attended this event on 8/29. We were both disappointed. The dancing was mediocre and the choreography seemed to be the same anguished movements over and over again. For the most part the music was awful - deafening too.Written on Aug 31 2009

I was very disappointed. From the nearly empty venue to the music which you'd have to love or hate ( I hated it) to the amateur production, I found this show to be a snoozefest. I did, in fact, fall asleep a few times during the show and left at intermission.Written on Aug 28 2009

The crowd seemed to enjoy it, but can't say that I was very impressed. IMHO, the dance was much better than the music.Written on Sep 04 2009

About the Ticket Supplier: Liss Fain Dance
Visceral. Emotional. Compelling. Liss Fain Dance is renowned for its innovative blending of fast-paced modern dance with the clarity and vertical lift of ballet. Unlike a mixed repertory company, Liss Fain's concerts have a single construct as a unifying factor in all the evening's pieces. Through movement that is technically and structurally precise and through careful juxtaposition of individuals and groups, Ms. Fain creates the forcefulness and complexity of an emotional environment. Exemplifying the style of European contemporary dance, her work incorporates ballet's kinetic precision with the flow and movement experimentation of modern dance.
Since it's founding in 1988, Liss Fain Dance has produced vibrant, abstract pieces that are at the forefront of new approaches to integrated collaborative performances. The nine member, San Francisco based contemporary dance company performs dances that are about "shape, expression, flow and musicality."
