Critical Acclaim

Christopher K. Morgan (Go behind the scenes with Christopher by viewing his blog video.)
"As a choreographer, Morgan displayed originality and a gift."
The San Diego Union Tribune

Kate Weare
"Note to self: Try not to miss any performances by Kate Weare's group...This is what I've been craving."
Village Voice

Austin McCormick (Go behind the scenes with Austin. View his first blog video, second blog video, and third video blog.)
“Choreographer Austin McCormick is in possession of a body of knowledge and skill set that few….of any age possess.”
Santa Barbara Independent

Jason Hartley
"The most amazing thing about [Nocturne Monologue] was how musical the movements were. The choreography worked in a way that was surprising and innovative...The dance got a rousing reception from the audience."
CriticalDance.com

Paul Gordon Emerson
“[Han is] the strongest work Mr. Emerson has created… strong and thoughtful, athletically demanding choreography, which the company performed to the hilt.”
The Washington Times

Sophie Maslow
"[CityDance] danced Folksay, set to Woody Guthrie songs, with intelligence and heart...CityDance Ensemble, which is devoted to history and reconstruction, showed us this season that "reconstruction" is a bit of a misnomer. In the modern dance world, reconstructing something from a much earlier era often implies that the work is unfashionable and out of step, a historical oddity of sorts. But [this work] by Maslow...[has] withstood the test of time and [deserves] to be performed more often."
The Washington Post
