"
. . . a show of no-holds -barred dancing by a stage full of men is a rare
and inviting event...A MAINSTREAM, BROADWAY-INSPIRED PROGRAM. Choreographer
Jeff Amsden offers a smorgasbord of guy-flavored situations. Exuberant athleticism
. . . breathtaking aerial cartwheels. (The) "Latin" scene featured
hot, limb-whipping booty-vibrating ensemble work ..."

. . . (captures) THE ESSENCE OF MASCULINITY . . . off beat, quirky,
flashy and fast-paced. Jeffrey
Amsden's choreography had care and sincerity . . . it was INSPIRED. An
evening of one choreographer's work can become repetitious, but Amsden's
broad knowledge of styles followed through . . . "

"These
guys really kick up their heels . . . The freedom of modern dance is
reflected in Amsden's (choreography where) dancers make broad, leaping sweeps
of the stage. . . The athletic leaps hardly seem possible physically. Many
of the dances have whimsical overtones . . . that make the graceful routines
fun to watch. . . Truly, this is a show for those who like their dance serious,
but with an attitude."

"
. . . gives high concept a good name. . . rocked and rolled with vibrant
choreography that often tweaked the stereotype of men and dance. . .
. The choreography snatched bits from ballet, hip hop and more, melting
them together into a smooth whole. The cast . . . was simply, awesome. .
. They shifted easily between all the genres represented here, from mambo
to 1940's swing, to 1970's disco. . . In a martial arts piece, John Patrick
Cartin and Albert Blaise Cataffi executed feats of strength and gymnastics
that made the Chinese Acrobats who often play the Garde (Theater) look like
amateurs.
