World premier of the Parisa Khobdeh Dance Company!
Glad to see where our beloved Paul Tayler dancers are applying their talents, skills, and experiences.
Looking forward to seeing more of Parisa Khobdeh Dance Company and Parisa Khobdeh in the future!!
Freddie Falls in Love is amazing!!!
Go see this wonderful dance play, at the Joyce Theater through Sunday, August 4th.
I’ve seen abstract dance theatre before, but I love how this dance play tells a specific story. The storytelling, done without a spoken word, is brilliant. We feel every emotion on stage, including the major plot twist at the end. The narrative aside, the dancing by the entire cast is absolutely gorgeous too!
Throwback to the Paul Taylor Dance Company performing at the Orchestra of St. Luke’s Bach Festival on June 8, 2019.
I was traveling for two weeks, and so could attend only one performance out of three weeks of programming.
The festival marked the start of retirement of a generation of beloved Paul Taylor dancers, including Michael Trusnovec and Laura Halzack, as well as four more expected departures later this year.
Tonight’s show featured Brandenburgs, Rewilding, and Cascade. As usual, the Paul Tayler dancers filled the stage with artistry and energy. If anything, the stage at the Manhattan School of Music seemed barely large enough for the exuberance of Paul Taylor choreographies.
“You better be you. Do what you can do.”
What an exhilarating experience dancing with Nick Palmquist. Thank you for teaching us how to fly… for encouraging us to be ourselves, to embrace our own differences, to feel vulnerable in our dancing… and that it’s OK being exactly ourselves because we all have a place in this world.

“I Am Here” by Michelle Barber at the Broadway Dance Center Student Showcase.
I don’t usually post videos of myself, but I had a wonderful time dancing this month… so here they are!
First of all, endless many thanks to Michelle Barber for choreographing this powerful piece; for having me in your showcase; for your energy-filled classes; for your encouragement, kindness, and patience with a beginner like me; and for teaching me everything about dance the past two years. 🙏

Parsons Dance at the Joyce Theater. Matinee on May 26.
It’s always worthwhile to go back and see Parsons Dance a second time during their New York season at the Joyce!
My favorites this season:
I love the whole concept of “Round My World” and the beautiful lines and movements.
I also love “Eight Women”, a piece that’s inspired by great women in history, created to honor Aretha Franklin, and set on the company by guest choreographer Trey McIntyre.
Memorable moments include Deidre Rogan’s wonderful presence in the opening scene and Zoey and Katie Garcia’s beautiful duet to the song “Natural Woman”.

Parsons Dance at the Joyce Theater on May 25.
The highlight of the night goes to Zoey Anderson’s stunning performance of “Caught”. Her incredible strength, combined with her flexibility, elevates the already difficult choreography, consisting of more than 100 jumps within 5 minutes, to a whole different level.
Show time tomorrow!!
I’m super excited to be performing Michelle Barber‘s wonderful choreography with this amazing group of people.
Come see us at the Broadway Dance Center Student Showcase. Sunday 4:30 and 8:00 at Symphony Space.
