The Chico Enterprise Record published a review of this year’s Keeping Dance Alive today, with the following snippet about my piece:

“Waiting for Conrad,” choreographed by Kate Spanos, was a delightful Irish step performance featuring six talented dancers, including Chico Community Ballet alumna Kelsey Wilson. The performers’ talent was so big that, despite their small number, they filled the stage with quick, light and lively dance.

Not mentioned in the article was my personal favorite, “Splatter,” which was a contemporary dance choreographed and performed by Cassie Johnston (a Chico Community Ballet alumna) and two other dancers from Vispo Dance of San Francisco. The strength and quality of movement that these dancer possessed was exquisite, and the long 9 minute piece only left me wanting more.

Congratulations to all the dancers!
