Ulla Allen - The Dancing Times

"It goes without saying that Dollie Henry's return to the stage is long overdue. Her lines and timing are impeccable and as a seasoned professional with a comparatively young company she brings artistry and grace to her solos and duets. Ms Henry has found a winning formula in her homage to the giants of Jazz"

Nicholas Dromgoole - Sunday Telegraph

"A set of technically accomplished and spirited musicians on stage played rousing Jazz, but it was the dance itself that dragged the performance, high kicking and screaming into action. Wildly exuberant, inventive and stylishly athletic, it became a mesmerising spectacle and fun all the way"

Emma Manning - The Stage

"Ms Henry's choreography is big, brassy and yet warm and romantic. Music that has the dance tumbling out of the performers and the audience wild for more. Touches of Miles offered a softer lyrical style and quoted more obviously from the Ballet vocabulary by weaving in split penches and leg rotations that cut the air...The social interplay is frivolous because the dance is all that really matters"

Colin Shearman - The Stage

"Musical director and composer Paul Jenkins offers a sophisticated sound system and selection of songs - soul, R&B, Dance - that the multi ethnic cast perform with great enthusiasm"
