Review: "If These Walls Could Talk" by Jeff Slayton, LA Dance Chronicle

Nov, 2022

"LACDC is rapidly becoming one of LA’s strongest companies... With three world premieres on the program, Artistic Director Jamila Glass has guided to greater heights of professionalism.  The work presented was powerful and the cast is probably one of the strongest since LACDC was co-founded in 2005 by Kate Hutter Mason."

Review of "Dancing in Snow" by Tam Warner, LA Dance Chronicle

Jun, 2022

"[George's] dance vocabulary runs the gamut from modern to jazz, ballet to street, with a deft touch of musical theater tossed in.

INSECTOS: arte y vida Film Review | Jeff Slayton, L.A. Dance Chronicle

Feb, 2022

[The film] is an intense, mysterious and somewhat ritualistic work during which Aguirre brilliantly exploits the use of two choreographic techniques: repetition and unison to create what he describes as the “harmony between the heartbreaking and the subtle beauty of what happens on the tiny, improvised stages of invisible nature.” | READ MORE.

The Key Of C – A Moving Dance Film by Genevieve Carson | L.A. Dance Chronicle

Oct, 2020

"The Key of C clearly captures the rollercoaster of emotions and the physical constraints this experience has cast upon us all.
