Stunning as ever.  Exploits the power of superb dancers whose legs shoot high and whose bodies arch until you think they might crack – with each kick, spin, or leap they seem to cry out, ‘Oh my God!’ in ecstasy or desperation.

The dancers displayed a crescendo of gestural situations, where the old barriers separating jazz, afro-Cuban, and modern dance are completely obliterated, to make way for a very instinctual and musical method of interpreting choreography.
