“…a series of vignettes, with a gypsylike setting, contrasting the magical with the real.”
-Anne Brennen, Chicago Tribune
“Shone the spotlight on beautifully trained dancers and their ability to tackle physically and psychologically challenging choreography… One heart pounding segment feature a dancer being tossed around on a table as she tried to rescue another dancer on the floor.”
-Lucia Mauro, Chicago Tribune
