DeAnna Pellecchia's dramatic 'Tang,' another premiere,
effectively pulled flamenco, tango, jazz, capoeira,
and martial arts into a study in contrasts,
with blistering turns and sharp angles
melting into sensuous rolls of the torso and hips.

simply breathtaking...DeAnna Pellecchia’s choreography
is an incredible combination of sheer athleticism and physical poetry.

DeAnna dances like a slippery bar of evil soap.
-Dina Fanai, singer/songwriter/recording artist | on DeAnna’s performance in Johnny Reinhard's 'Odysseus'
DeAnna Pellecchia is my muse. She has always been one of my favorite and fiercest performers. DeAnna is a brilliant dancer with extraordinary physical skills...possessed of a wild, inquisitive and far-reaching mind, which gives her choreography and her performances a wild, unpredictable and always exciting edge that I find rare in the dance world.
-Paula Josa-Jones | Director / Choreographer, Paula Josa-Jones / Performance Works
One of the greatest joys of my professional life is to present work that is provocative, unusual, and moving. The recent installation by John Cira of STRETCH / HOOK transformed our gallery. The culminating performance by the remarkable DeAnna Pellecchia, whose intense choreography was paired with the exquisite improvisation of Kenny Werner, was one of those events where multiple art forms were joined and presented at their highest caliber. The sold out, cheering audience will be talking about this very special night for years to come.
