Quite a few mistakes and the first part we could not make head nor tail of what was going on. Too many people on the stage and no dancing. It is quite interesting if you read other reviews of this company, most of them are quite poor.
Let people express themselves on sites like this, everybody can have an opinion. The “shame on you” is a bit much. JG

I would not go and see this company again, sadly.

You must have seen a different show to us as most of the audience that we spoke with had the same views. Maybe they pulled it together for todays show.
Also you must have a liking to cheap material if you thought the costumeS were lovely.
NO shame on me – Shame on you ! It is good to have different opinions or the world would be a very boring place.
I am glad at least one person enjoyed it !

I saw the performance today, and all the audience were enthralled. The costumes (nb not costume’s!) were lovely. The dancers were elegant, poised, and showed precision athleticism.

Shame on you!

The costume’s and the set were all very low budget. I would never go back and see this company again. It was out of time and a cluttered performance. Nobody really seemed to know what they were doing, a very disappointing standard. It was more like a school play ! the second half was slightly better but still poor. Dont bother going to see this, it is a waste of money. One of the performers actually fell up the stage, it was the best bit. Sorry to be so negative but it really was quite rubbish !!
