What People Are Saying
"It is wonderful that Stephen Mills brings in other, highly talented choreographers because it forces the dancers to work in other techniques and styles; it makes a company already loaded with talent even better. "
"My favorite part was the overall innovative nature/feeling of the entire event - the venue, the proximity of the audience to the stage, the DJ beforehand, the short performances, and the mixture of contemporary and classical music. My husband and I both really enjoyed our evening."
"My favorite part was how intimate the setting was. The audience can have a true connection with the cast due to the close proximity of the dance floor."
"I loved the dancing, it was splendid! I also really enjoyed seeing and hearing from the choreographers prior to each piece."
"Seeing the dancers up close -- I just loved it! I loved the creativity of the second half of the evening. Loved the drinks beforehand and the "entertainment" on the screen during intermission."
"Glad to see classical mixed with more contemporary. Really loved Fonte, look forward to The Bach Project and New American Talent/Dance in 2010."
