The Reviews
“Beauty, power, hope, commitment.
The dancing was just incredible…the cast had such strong technique and a palette of embodied skills…The [dances] are simply stunning, and the dancers give 110% through and through. The craft and intention sweeps you in.”
— Jill Randall
“For years, Mia J. Chong has stood out as a dancer with several of the Bay Area’s boldest companies, including Post: Ballet and ODC/Dance. Now she’s stepping out with her own choreography — but with some powerhouse mentors by her side.”
— Rachel Howard
“If the debut performance was any indication, this company is certainly going to be one to watch in the coming years.”
