Reviews
"Sol Dans, on the other hand, is a company bursting with ideas, and Melody Squire showed in Groundlings that she is a choreographer to be reckoned with. She was born in Chicago, and it shows, with jazz influences running deep in her vocabulary – Groundlings is American energy as we like it, physical and daring. The six dancers come out as tribal creatures, at once birds and panthers, their wild hair and painted bodies an indication of the form of ritual to come. The choreography hurls them into playful, energetic groups, and is only interrupted by the ribbons of cling film hanging around the stage – giving us the strange, beautiful image of animals suddenly trapped. Watch out for the future choreographic developments of Sol Dans – their escapism is very welcome."-Laura Cappelle
"As the stage lights illuminate the space, eight dancers cover the stage for Sol Dans’ Ebullition. As the music fills the room an electrifying and vibrant burst of movement begins. The energy from the dancers is infectious and is continuous throughout the piece. Choreographer Melody Squire’s inspiration from Greek mythology and architecture is evident in her choreography as throughout the piece her dancers create visually beautiful, statuesque imagery. Squire’s jazz background is evident as the dancers’ movement elevates around the stage to create uplifting, energetic performance." -Susanne Allen
"Choreographer Melody Squire of Sol Dans has yet again produced top-quality work with her new piece Ebuillition." -Debbie Shine
"Abeyance, choreographed by American choreographer Melody Squire, is a beautiful lyrical jazz piece set in two parts. Seductive and sensual, the technical dancers convey the complexities of modern romance with envious strength and emotion." -Jennifer Teale
