» Review: Xtreme Circumstances
A fan of the film Save The last Dance, I was excited to see hip-hop and streetdance celebrated in a show from London’s Impact Dance Company. We were entertained with a superb mix of solos and duets, with the most entertaining being a ‘dance-off’ between ‘store mannequins’, danced to the likes of JT and Michael Jackson. The darker side was explored through hooded street gangs, but it was the light-hearted performances that won me over. This was a good introduction to the company and many talented dancers stood out in the ensemble pieces. A talented company who displayed their range with impeccable timing; the downside being a blocked view of their moves on the floor in the packed Freerange tent and bizarre sound dips. The hour show was just long enough see the diversity of this young company and for children with a budding interest in streetdance to take note.
