“Like the jazzy tango style of Piazzolla’s music, Waxse’s work sparkled with tango beat. She also channeled a “West Side Story” aesthetic, with dancers crouching together and stepping forward as a clump, much like Jerome Robbins’ iconic choreography of the Jets and Sharks.
The work featured seven performers who relished in the joy of the music, and had a luxurious sense of play. The unabashed delight in simply dancing made the modern work a satisfying conclusion to the evening.”
