This evening-length program centers around two of his repertory works, Map and Collective Measures.<\/p>\n

“His innovative choreographic style is a delight for the audience’s eyes, but the patterns, the sequencing, the formations, the musicality, the intensity, the mastery, and yes, even the balloons floating high above elevate the piece’s brilliance.” – (BWWDanceWorld.com)<\/p>\n
