On McGuire:
"Every now and then, I see a dancer whose beauty, presence and intensity reminds me of why dance has been the inescapable through line of my life... Like a great narrator, shes a dancer you want non-stop closeness to, that sustained feeling of intimacy in both stillness and motion. While her lexicon of movement is broad, I came to trust the power of her delivery the sense of motivation, the possibility of surprise in every step.

On Goodman:
"Goodman moved to the industrial-ambient music like one of its notes made flesh in a way that elicited from me an audible and unbeckoned "damn" at the end of the performance."
- THE SEATTLE STRANGER
On Morris-Van Tassel:
Wherever you find her, Morris-Van Tassel embodies the power of dance to create deep and lasting connections where words cannot.

The energy, speed and boldness of youth inform her quicksilver choreography and the sometimes head-spinning dancing.
