PLEASE NOTE:: This review is of Ballet Hispanico performing at Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on November 5, 2007.

"Palladium Nights: Ballet Hispanico and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra with Arturo O'Farrill at the Kennedy Center"

"Palladium Nights is what I would describe as a full-length salsa ballet. The stage was set up like an old-time nightclub...where the 10 clubgoers danced out the little dramas that occur in the course of a night out in the club....While Palladium Nights was not earth shattering for me in every way, it brought me a long way in rethinking new modes of salsa performance. Choreographer Willie Rosario did a nice job at times of incorporating the beauty, grace, and technique of contemporary ballet and modern dance in a harmonious and cohesive way. And there was also some pretty great dancing, choreography, and live music thrown in to boot." Read review...
