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.

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