As choreographers, they are distinctly different but share the sensibility of creating work that combines virtuosic movement with an expressive edge that touches the heart - work that dances full out yet speaks of both individual experiences and shared humanity.




Thank you Emelin Theatre

NYC Season, The Rave Reviews are In!

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our 32nd Annual New York City Season.  The house was packed each night, and audiences were thrilled!  Check out what the press is saying about the performances...
Jessie Gonthier from Eye on the Arts, NY writes:
“…a distinctly unique style which is both forceful and subtle…"

“Monte contrasts a physically grueling choreography with a vulnerability and tenderness”

“expert use of physicality”
 
“Monte uses physical power in the way most people use words, alternatively reigning in and letting loose her dancers to create a conversation”

Oberon's Grov
e states:

“The splendid work of the dancers maintained our visual focus…”

“In Identity Lisa Peluso gives an expressive performance…In her beautifully-danced extended solo, Ms. Peluso sustained the solitary mood…”
 
"Joe Celej's fifth work for the company, offered a marvelous opportunity for the striking blonde dancer Clymene Baugher"
 
“In a magnificent performance, dancer Prentice Whitlow…swept through the vibrant patterns and pauses with tremendous physical élan”
