It was so wonderful. It was a fusion of ballet and traditional Indian dance. Love the story telling and their costumes were colorful. I was so impressed by the group harmony and energy excerted from the Phoenix Singh Dance Company. This is what a dance company is all about. Bring group harmony, energy, and story telling to the audience to entice them to want more.......Written on Apr 04 2011

Love it. Love the piece where Daniel Phoenix Singh choreographed with a mystical story line with a blend of classical Indian Dance, modern dance and ballet. The after show Indian buffet was excellent too.Written on Apr 30 2012

I think it's safe to say that this performance could be rated PG-13, so don't bring your underage children and conservitive grandparents. Other than that the costumes were insane, each dance and song had a different mood and essence to it. Dancers were great and high energy. The cello player with the animal sound-making microphone was weird and awkward. It had some humor in it, and if you don't want the dancers to touch you, sit in the middle away from the isles.Written on Mar 28 2011

Great show. Interesting choreography and music. The venue was very cozy, although the seating could have been more comfortable (folding chairs) but it wasn't bad.Written on Jan 26 2011
