“A dance like Keith Haring come to life.”– Andrew Boynton, The New Yorker

“On Friday evening the company returned to the Joyce SoHo with “4,” the first section of an evening-length work set to Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons.” In the piece — devoted to the stormy “Summer” section — Megan Alfonso and Adaku Utah share the stage, demonstrating how movement can switch from crisp to balmy at a moment’s notice. The tools of hip-hop, which cause a body to break down and build back up again, give the familiar music a playful edge, even though the dancers aren’t playing around.”–Gia Kourlas, The New York Times

Deca Wins at FringeNYC

Congrats to the Deca Crew for winning the “Overall Excellence in Dance” Award at the 2011New York International Fringe Festival.  

“The Deca Crew is a force of talent – One moment they float, fluid as water, moving as ethereal poems. The next, they hit the ground, fearless and strong, determined to feel absolute gravity. Their love of movement and of dance is infectious. The audience was completely spellbound by their abilities and their powerful individual and collective work.”

“Decadancetheatre’s When The Sky Breaks 3D embodies everything that the New York International Fringe Festival should be. Celebratory and skilled, it is a complete performance” 

Deca in The New Yorker
