Reviews are instant impressions of performances, posted
the day after the show. The Dance Insider is the only online

last night's performance today. To
find out more about our Flashers, click here. (Note:
Flashes of Saturday performances are posted Monday morning because,
hey, even Flash Reviewers and webmistresses need to sleep in
on Sunday.) |
