My Sweetie and I both love to watch dance. We have been season subscribers to Dance Cleveland since 1997 and before that Richard and I were. We have seen many dance companies but tonight was the first time for Neos Dance Theater, a regional company. The program was a mixed bag with some pieces successful and others not quite making the mark.
For us Summer Night and Eight by Benny Goodman were the highlights of the five programs. Both of these were choreographed by the late Heinz Poll of the Ohio Ballet. The first was danced by two couples who are married in real life. It was an ethereal piece which invoked a summer night. Both the flowing costumes and subdued lighting were effective.
The second features Goodman favorites like How Long Has This Been Going On and How High the Moon. I had seen it performed by the Ohio Ballet a couple of times and this performance was spot on.
What a lovely evening.
The video is not one we saw but the couple was one of the ones in Summer Night. She is the mother of four. Enough said.
