Though the dancers move so powerfully, each time they interacted with one another they were so delicate. The trust in each other was palpable. They trusted both the strength of their own bodies and the strength of their companions. Very beautiful. Wish I could've seen it live.

The dancers are amazing and I loved the different groupings and small groups throughout the dance, and only a specific parts they were in unison. It was really refreshing to see so much movement on stage at once.

There is a lot going on in this piece but because all of the choreography has a high energy and is fast paced it is still pleasing to the eye. A lot of the movements are very abrupt. I like that the costumes are dull and simple so that they do not distract from the movement.

The dancers were all amazing and there was a lot of interesting movements that kept my attention.

Although my training is in fairly classical modern I absolutely adore this current style on display here where the dances are more "moment to moment" and less "count to count" if you know what I mean. It's really an endless kaleidoscope of kinesthetic virtuosity done effortlessly by the dancers with a choreographers vision that includes the smallest details and the big picture. Fantastic.

Love the spacing and energy,, the partnering in your pieces is always so creative and challenging!

[@aicnorecantics]

I think the choreography is beautiful.Even though there is a lot going on, you can still see each piece of the choreography clearly. Everything just comes together.

[@laurenelizarzaburu2806]

This piece has a lot of interested elements to it. Many layers and levels of movements going on.

The group being split into 2 trios and one duet was really visually pleasing, it didn't look like it was too much although they were all doing different things. Somehow it came together nicely.

Jenkins seems to find (at least in this brief video) a comfortable and fluid balance between the articulate nature of contemporary movement and the often performance-art/stationary world which modern dance is seeming to inhabit more and more, recently. I especially enjoy the partnering in this dance, which uses physical weight as a source of momentum and force, but also elaborates on the heaviness with contrasting intricate gestures and expanding lines.

This is beautiful, really liked it =)

[@andreabagot6646]

The dancers used a lot of contact energy which was very sharp and consistent.

[@agdb91ny]

does anyone know where this was performed?

[@fauvecorrigan1233]

Sure they are skilled but where is the context?

[@coramunroe]

o rly?

What in the hell is everyone below me smoking? This is a disaster!

@StudSupreme No one is trying to call this "Ballet." Someone as ignorant as to think this artist is trying to create "ballet" here is obviously uneducated in dance form and history. Such ignorance is tantamount to listening to a conversation in a language one is unfamiliar with and asserting that the conversation is meaningless gibberish. Dance is a language. If you can't speak it, don't pretend to understand it.
