Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s Post

Thrilled to share the glowing review by David Lyman (The Cincinnati Enquirer) for our production of Don Quixote!   "Gelfin De-Poli and Quenedit, both principal dancers, are at the top of their games.

Rock and Roll has six basic steps: the leader starts with left foot kick ball change, kick step (left), kick step (right) Follower starts with right foot kick ball change, kick step (right), kick step (left) Rock and roll dance works on the 4/4 measure. One basic comprises six beats and therefore one and a half measures. Differently than the offbeat of rock and roll music, the dance puts stress on the first and third beats of each measure. Acrobatic elements grew more and more dangerous, requiring dress which allowed both freedom of movement and enough durability to avoid tearing. Dancers’ shoes needed soles with both "slip" & "grip" characteristics like rubber soled Keds, sneakers and Brothel Creepers. https://lnkd.in/g-8sRA49
