Richmond Ballet In The News


 

  



 What the Critics are Saying...

                                  

“The evening’s most breath-taking work – Jessica Lang’s To Familiar Spaces in Dream – came first. Exquisitely danced by the Virginia-based Richmond Ballet (a real revelation here), it was an all but impossible piece to top.”

- Heidi Wiess - Dance Critic for the Chicago Sun-Times


"a company to which dance fans everywhere ought to pay attention"   
- The Washington Post
 
"Highly Recommended" 
- The New York Times 
 
"there is something to be said for pleasant evenings spent in the company
of good dancers and a choreographer who understands them." 
-The New York Times 
 
"well-trained performers" display "characteristic long body lines and easy
but focused attack"                  
- The New York Times
