“[The] dancers are picked for their virtuosity, energy and sexiness. They attack the audience and stage like gangbusters.” —Clive Barnes, New York Post
“The Company’s accuracy and teamwork are a tribute to Parsons’ commitment to keeping the dancers fully employed and performing together 40 weeks a year, a rarity in the hard-pressed modern dance world. That commitment pays off handsomely on stage.” —Sylviane Gold, Newsday
“It does not take long to see why Parsons and his company are one of the hottest tickets in contemporary American dance. First, they are all terrific performers, energized, eager to please and rehearsed within an inch of their lives. Second…Parsons provides choreography that’s consistently intelligent, witty, well-crafted, and humane.” —Michael Crabb, The Toronto Star
About
The sexy, athleticism, exuberant personality and joyous movement that is Parsons Dance is comprised of eight full-time dancers and maintains a repertory of over 80 works (20 with commissioned scores) choreographed by David Parsons. The company's style is a fusion of the gesture and movement that make up the modern dance vocabulary, and the discipline and precise execution one expects from a classical company.
