"Sduduzo Ka-Mbili's Juxtapower unexpectedly juxtaposed various styles of movement in Izigqi Zezizwe (rhythms of nations), a ferocious warrior dance that showcased the Juxtapower of South African dance culture."
~ Jack Anderson, The New York Times, 2002

"Laura and The Lads" ranges from a traditional trio to an ensemble five, even six members strong. With a richly Irish core, Laura and the Lads also features new compositions inspired by traditional forms, as well as music from Scotland, France, and Galacia. Their arrangements and interpretations are wonderfully arresting, often striking, and always charming. Award-winning Irish step dancers are also available in concert with Laura and The Lads.
