DANCE

"Dancer Jacqueline Straughan's supple, strong body was the perfect vehicle to juxtapose endlessly extended lines with melting sequences of movement." 

- The Salt Lake Tribune -

"...who wore the choreography like a second skin...with Straughan, there was a sense that this was less dance steps she was doing and more a language she had been raised speaking. 

This was a career making performance..."  

- ballet-dance magazine -
