Great acting, Entertaining, Refreshing, Masterful, Top-notch dance show

See it if Street dance (mainly urban) masters, strong ensemble with sparkling solos; choreography seamlessly matching the music & lyrics; high energy!

Don't see it if Similar dance style, could feel repetitive after 2hrs; Floor movements & footwork blocked by front row audience; budgeted set; vague story

Relevant, Entertaining, Great choreography, Fabulous dancing

See it if you'd forgive a paper-thin storyline to enjoy a nearly wordless urban dance theater piece with brilliant choreography & great young dancers

Don't see it if you don't go for hip-hop, rap, alternative/indie pop music & dance; didn't like the urban style of Hamilton or Spring Awakening Read more

Amazing dancing, Exquisite, Refreshing, Enchanting

See it if The choreography &execution of intensely articulated dance moves is amazing &performance is both moving & exuberant. Fence climb dance a wow

Don't see it if Story can be confusing as not only R&J as suggested but political overtones and more. Still an exquisite modern dance piece.

Ambitious, Exquisite precision dance, Intense, Almost no dialogue

See it if you want an evening of extraordinary contemporary dance using an unusual crocheted set.
