âStill Falling was a multi-chaptered suite where elegance reigned supreme. Whether in solo, duets, trios, quintets or full cast expressions, every movement, every moment, was polished and refined. And it featured Seiwertâs singular way of exploring the possibilities that ballet vocabulary and technique have.â â Dance Commentary by Heather Desaulniers

âInspired by the âplight of women in the world,â Andi Schermolyâs Jane Doe, a world-premiere, slayed me. Gasp-inducing at times, cripplingly sad at others, alarming, reverberating and unflinching, Jane Doe packs a punch, never allowing us to believe for a moment that women are not under threat as much now, as ever.â -Jen Norris Dance Reviews
We hope youâll join us for our final performances of the 25/26 season, this week at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts. Celebrate another fabulous season with us! Tickets available today, link in bio.

âSextette feels sassy, playful and joyful. A celebration of balletâs versatility, the movement melds classical structures with contemporary ease. It is a pleasure to experience the framing and flowing shapes of the dancersâ arm positions, or port de bras, as they dance. One can feel how the energy originates in their backs, moves through their shoulders, down the arms, and out through their fingertips, creating long, harmonious lines.â â Jen Norris Dance Reviews
