Ashleigh and Legacy perform a Contemporary piece by Gary Stewart

Ok, this was interesting. I liked the choreography, but I did not love it. It did not have the performance quality that I prefer, however I can completely appreciate the originality and intention. Perhaps the lack of performance quality is more of a reflection of the dancers though. I think the bad-ass nature of the piece really worked for Legacy, but came off as forced for Ashleigh. In my opinion, this piece exposed their lack of classical training. Their jumps and body lines lacked the elevation that I believe a dancer of this level should be able to execute. Eh.
