I’ve always believed that there is no better way to spend your rainy Saturday night than being in a theater for a good show. Little did I know how “good of a show” I would end up seeing. O.M.G. I cannot stop talking about Reverb Festival 2009. Mainly, because I can’t remember the last time […]

As the Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet performs Orbo Novo, meaning “New World”, that is exactly what they discovered this weekend! No longer a stranger to any theatre but their own, Cedar Lake explodes upon new territory, infiltrating The Joyce Theater like the European explorers for which their work is named! Orbo Novo is an absolutely […]
Dance Review: Self-Indulgence vs. Purpose, Scarlet Fever at BLVD.

Everything has a beginning and the fledgling company Scarlet Fever holds no exemption. Their debut performance, Scarlet’s Nightmare at Blvd Bar includes skin-baring undulations, questionably appropriate jokes from standup comedian Danny Siegal and soothing vocals from songstress Athena Reich. While the show lacked fluidity and connectedness many pieces lived up to Scarlet Fever’s name – […]
Dance Review: Deborah Colker – BRIGHT COLORS, TIGHT SPACES

Four women hang suspended from the arms of four men. The men dangle, bent at the waist, over the tops of 12 foot walls. The women hold on, wrist to wrist, legs held at 90 degree angles, free arms outstretched, in flight… Colker’s 4 por 4 at City Center is visually stunning. Gorgeously high-budget sets […]
Dance Review: Take a Trip to Buenos Aires with Tanguera, The Tango Musical!

Tanguera, dubbed the only tango musical, arrives at New York City Center creating the atmosphere of Buenos Aires. With only one singer and a few narrative songs, I would hardly call the production a musical. Tanguera is very much a ballet, but with tango as the dance vocabulary that tells the story. The production opens […]
Dance Review: What the Human Body Can Do, Lucinda Childs Dance at The Joyce Theater

Rid your mind of the notion that dancers are just like real people – capable of clumsiness, dragging feet, spatial confusion and other characteristics that typically unite human beings – and then you will be ready to see Lucinda Childs Dance at The Joyce Theater. Unless you do this, you will spend two precious hours […]
Dance Review: In the Rhythm – Paco Peña and the Flamenco Dance Company

İOle! Cries an audience member as the lights came up on Paco Peña and his Flamenco Dance Company Friday night at Town Hall. They haven’t moved a muscle, yet their strong faces and erect postures, the warm gold light gleaming off the guitars and the pure black of the costumes, is already enough to excite […]

Fall for Dance is a wonderful, relatively new program (founded in 2004) that features excerpts from the works of over twenty-five international dance companies over a ten evening run. This is a great opportunity for the public to be exposed to a wide variety of dance, and perhaps develop an affinity for certain artists, resulting […]

Dance Review: Fall for Dance at City Center

Filed under Ballet, Concert Modern -Jazz-Contemporary, iDANZ Features, Reviews
Every year, I am always so excited to see City Center’s Fall for Dance festival. The tickets are cheap, and the festival allows starving artists like me to see some of the best dance around. For the most part, programs I’ve seen have not had a recognizable theme. On the evening of Wednesday, September 23rd, […]
