  • a lot of balance mistakes...

  • Interesting interpretation of Glass's motoric (and rather Romantic) music. You could argue that it is too "gymnastic", but the contemporary style flows very well with the dramatic resonance of the music. In fact, it flows beautifully and forms a narrative to the atmospheres created by the structures within the musical composition. :-)

  • Llega un momento en el que la belleza del baile te embauca y te hechiza hasta el punto de dejar de oír los disparos. Gran coreografía, gran compositor, gran video.

  • WOW.

  • Beutifull dancers but the chorography is like it is made for icescating. A bad use of music and dance together.

  • this was a beautiful performance..i love dance with everything inside of me btu i want to advance and broaden my skills...if there is any1 with a studio who is willing to give lessons,need a background dancer, or opening act i am definitly interested..!!! email me @Sychole1@yahoo.com or DM me on twitter @Sychole9132

  • the music is the soundtrack to the film "The Hours" by Philip Glass.

  • "... such pulchritude of the union of body and the spirit i have not seen save in prayer, that connection to all the world's elements of reality, that mediator that pulls us round..."- Asiya M. Zahl
