Up Close and Personal

2009 July 22
Situated in the busy streets of downtown Manhattan, Elisa Monte hosted a private showing at her company loft.  It was a beautiful evening with visitors pouring through the door, cheerfully waiting for the performances to begin.

Meanwhile, our dancers stretched away their anxiety while absorbing the positive energy of the audience.

After the flawless performances were applauded, audience members mingled with the dancers over some cheese and wine. These fans, amazed by the flexibility and strength of our dancers, asked them if they even have limbs. The dancers couln’t help but laugh and sincerely thank the audience for their appreciation.
