about Dance Visions
...when danced with
clarity, musicality, and conviction, as they were at this
performance,(the works) are touching and exhilerating...Jucovy filled
the unornamented movements with quiet intensity...(the dancers)
bounded like racing does until falling to Earth after an excess of
ectasy. Joseph Mazo, Newsday
Jucovy revives a lost art... (she) is an authority on Isadora
Duncan's dances. (The dances) looked authentic and interesting. Dora
Sowden, Jerusalem Post
The opening "Three Graces" was impressively
performed by Beth Jucovy, Julie Finch, and Adrienne Ramm. To Chopins'
Preludes and Waltzes Jucovy and Ramm brought ardor, Jucovy being
particularly lyrical in her soft balance, and gently jumped ballones.
...she danced with evident zest in Hortense Kooluris' Nell Gwyn
Suite... Ramm had the look of the famous Walkowitz pen and ink
drawings of Isadora in motion. She projected a joyousness in the
simple skips, swirls and runs that effectively invoked the Duncan spirit. Hillary
Ostlere, Chelsea Clinton News
You did it again! Thank you so much
for the beautiful performance at Jericho yesterday, Sunday, May 17th,
2009. Your latest show, Dances of Nature/Dances of Interactions,was
just incredible. The staging, costumes, choreography and precision of
movement was just such a pleasure to watch. It is always a pleasure
to have Shirley Romaine speak. The music was at times beautiful
and/or interesting and fit the dances perfectly.
I love to hear the
comments of the audience...."I'm so glad I came", "I was so surprised
at how professional the dancing was", "Will you have them back
again?". It makes me smile. It's always a
wonderful day when you perform here. Phylis Cox,
PR/ programming coordinator, Jericho Library, (09)

Our work with
Dance Visions has been a wonderful collaboration… this Summer we
worked with Dance Visions on two wonderful programs which entailed
more than 8 performances in 2 months. Dance Visions was able to bring
quality performances for a young audience and their parents and
grandparents and introduced these people to artistic concepts,
creation and interpretation of Modern Dance. Jim Packard, Long Island Children’s Museum (08)
I understand you got “rave “after “rave.” Thank you for the splendid

The interweaving of Isadora's
story with the authentic duncan dances was beautifully done. the
dancers are splendind as are the children... deeply moving. Ali
Pourfarrokh, Artisitic Director, Eglevsky Ballet
From classical ballet to a diverse sampling of distinctive modern,
mixed with a dollop of jazz... residents were treated to Dance with a
capital D...The most amazing thing about this performance was the
versatility of the dancers...The audience loved the finale- "Passages"
which was fun and crescendoed into an upbeat hats-in-the-air ending.
The program (Dance old and New... the Spirit and the Passion) was a
grand introduction (to dance)Arlene

Moments
of great beauty- fluid bodies in silk tunics, fervent skippings and
lovely supple
arms. Deborah Jowitt, the
Village Voice
Highly successful...
joyous, wonderfully wild nymphs. Anna Kisselgoff, The New York Times
...the
five dancers were as impressive as an entire corps de ballet,their
kinetic flow recalling the simple yet miraculous rhythms of human
breath... There were several effective solos. In the 'Scriabin Etudes' Ms.
Jucovy was tender as a mother, Ms. Ramm was impressive in Duncan,s
portrait of a Revolutionary.
Jack Anderson, The New York Times
A rewarding program that touched the heart...showed remarkable grace
in the nearly impossible haunting evocations they
sustained...enthralling program. Robert Kimball, New York Post
Full of delightful moments... These were wonderful images...like
splendid Amazons asserting their power with spectacular leaps and bold
stances... seemed to epitimize the spirit of Duncan, a fierce boldness
of spirit and passionate surrendor to the senses.
