Could you tell me where to find more up-to-date information about June -- I may be in NYC at that time and am very curious about what performances are available. Link to comment

kiki Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I hope anyone who goes will report back on these performances!! Anyone out there know very much about this company? Number of dancers or their backgrounds? The website doesn't go into much detail. Anything would be great!! Link to comment
carbro Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 This link will take you to the company's website. I saw their all-Tudor program either last year or in 2004. I enjoyed the evening very much and was impressed with the dancers sensitivity to their material. Their Lilac Garden may have been the most moving I've seen. Link to comment
kiki Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Did anyone attend these performances?? Can we have a review? Thanks!! Link to comment
