The dancers are amazing and have amazing bodies. Muscles everywhere! It's crazy. And of course they are all very talented. BUT, I had no idea what was going on and the music was dreadful. For the first 10 minutes - the only sound was of a train whistle and the "ding ding ding" of a train crossing. That is what they danced to. What??????? I don't know. I'm sure there was some hidden message in the show but I didn't figure it out. And I wasn't alone. Thankfully! There were 5 of us that went and 4 of us felt the same way. One of the girls used to dance so she thought it was wonderful. I don't know. I guess I'll never be able to pull off the artsy-fartsy thing because I couldn't wait for the show to be over.
Is it me? Has anyone else gone to watch live performances of contemporary dance? Hmmmm, the dancers truly are amazing but I definitely will not be going back anytime soon!!
Any thoughts?

Yeah, sometimes I really don't get modern dance. I think they push the artsy part too much.
It can be modern and good though. A Streetcar Named Desire was a really good modern ballet. It was artsy and it was an original creation by the Qld Ballets but it was beautiful and easy to understand.
Don't give up on dance! ;)
