★★★★✰ With a strong and familiar story, an excellent songbook, well performed, and a pacy theatrical momentum, it is highly recommended.
★★★✰✰ Kudos to Lovette for really going out on a limb... The Shaded Line feels truly her own, and it’s clear that she has much to say about her chosen profession...
★★★★★ Everything about this production is topical, very real and will probably be so for many years to come. Absolutely five stars to the company...
Ballet Preljocaj are about to make their long awaited return to London's Sadler's Wells dancing "La Fresque" - Graham Watts talks to Angelin Preljocaj about the work itself and more widely about his creative life.
★★★★✰ It makes a noticeable difference when Litton, music director of the company, is in the pit; the orchestra has presence and sings, providing a convincing counterpart for the dancing.
★★★★✰ Mozart Dances goes far beyond a basic choreographic rendering of the score, instead inviting an active dialogue between disciplines.

★★★✰✰ The extremely good-looking company members are well-trained, versatile dancers...
★★★★✰ Friday the 13th was auspicious for San Francisco dance: Margaret Jenkins Dance Company premiered Trace Figures, a site-specific performance immersion that could be done by no other company or permutation of artists.
★★★★✰ Having watched the company since childhood, I find it is impossible not to instantly appreciate the sheer beauty and energy they radiate...
★★★✰✰ In the event, the levels of polish and invention were quite remarkable given the circumstances.
