Company: Reviews

2011

“It was such a pleasure to have Jeanne Ruddy Dance Company in residence for performances at the University of Las Vegas. The company is so steeped in traditional modern dance yet also brings into the mix an exciting balance of contemporary modern dance sensibility. It was a delight for our students to see firsthand how the techniques of the masters could live and survive in a contemporary company.

Congratulations on a wonderful 11 year history. The company looks so strong and vibrant, I look forward to seeing its growth and development in the upcoming years. Bravo, Congratulations and thank you for a wonderful week.”
—Louis Kavouras, Chairperson UNLV Department of Dance
