This is one of the most incredible dances I have ever seen... everything flows together so perfectly... the performers are intensely focused and fluidly in sync, the music is achingly beautiful and the dance is shocking, passionate and heart-wrenching...
wow!!!!!
m mesmerized......being on a wheelchair I can understand what it takes to perform like that...
Hats off to you guys...
I just did a master class with them and saw them perform at USF, sweet people and passionate, fierce performers.
wicked! so precise, so smooth, real quality dance!
So good.
