Opening night of Chicago Dancing Festival
The mood was buoyant, the choreography masterful, the dancing accomplished. At any price, Wednesday's performance would have been a winner. At the price of "free," it was astounding.

“Bruce’s passion for his work is only exceeded by his talent for direction. He pays close attention to translating the art that is on stage into his vision through the vision of the artists he’s working with.
We only ever want to work with Bruce and his team when producing a simulcast. They all embody the mission and do it with grace, sensitivity and great humor. The end effect of the team’s superior quality brought us the memorable and extremely moving simulcasts of the Paris Opera Ballet, Hubbard Street Dance and the Chicago Dancing Festival.”
