Core8We’re so touched by the letter we received from someone who attended our performance on Saturday evening…”I was able to see the Spring Concert this past Saturday night. “The Core,” was absolutely the highlight. What a brilliant, gripping piece!

Candy described it best: “mesmerizing.” I came away still thinking about the fluidity and energy of the piece and the moving and poignant way you explore relationships. From our own center we reach out to others, and indeed, are connected.

Thank you for a great gift. I have such admiration for all your work and look forward to seeing more.

Your company is splendid, and it was such a pleasure to see you dance. – Jim”

Thank you Jim, for the wonderful feedback.
