It’s eye catching but assaulting, dialed up to one hundred at pretty much all times.
When it’s really focused, the storytelling power of dance is alight. There are so many gems within the busy whole.

Audiences can never get enough of Swan Lake. No matter the version, the venue or the company performing, people continue to flock to the famous ballet with its classical themes and visions of ethereal swan ballerinas.

Both too much and not enough, it never found its way and left me feeling unsatisfied.
