The Show Goes On: Giordano Dance “High Flying” in Chicago
Just a note of admiration: in spite of what must have been crushing news (their founder, Gus Giordano, died on Sunday) the Giordano Dance troupe got rave reviews from Hedy Weiss in the Chicago Sun-Times. It’s a tribute to the professionalism of the performers and the ethics he instilled in them that they kick off a five week tour of Hawaii with such a stellar performance. Even the one sour note in the review, Davis Robertson’s premiere of “Moanin Low” didn’t change her opinion: “…the company is in high-flying form.”
Incidentally, for those So You Think You Can Dance fans: number one on the evening’s ticket was a piece called “Le Grand Futur is Here!” choreographed by our favorite judge Mia Michaels. It was described as “enormously tricky and difficult”; why am I not surprised?
This is the promotional video they put out for this particular performance; not sure if parts of it are showing Mia’s work or not, but it certainly gets the blood moving anyway:
