“Dominique will be dancing Maleficent in ‘Josh’s Tale of the Sleeping Maiden,’ the Little Mermaid in ‘Jenna’s Little Mermaid’ and the Summer Fairy in my ‘Cinderella Story,'” Anthony said. “She is a beautiful, expressive and accomplished dancer.”. “Spindrift Dance Company is such a special entity,” Anthony went on to say. “I’m sure that all instructors think that their students are exceptional, but ours really are. There is an honesty and a genuine passion that makes their dancing uniquely beautiful. They are vibrantly youthful and wise beyond their years. They are truly inspiring, onstage and off.”.

Artistic director Robert Estes’ staging is up close and personal, with no distance between the audience and the actors. Choreographed by Bridgette Loriaux, it’s also a deeply physical production, with the performers often tumbling over each other or whirling around in circles. The original piano and other keyboard music by Greg Zema is well suited to whatever’s going on; sometimes ominous, other times sprightly or courtly, depending on the tone of the fantasy currently being spun. Anastasia Barron and Willem Long circle each other in a cagey, flirtatious and hostile dance, shifting frequently from crazed near-ranting to relatively normal storytelling. They’re almost always in motion in a constant push and pull that’s sometimes hostile, sometimes come-hither and sometimes compassionate, pushing each other to the abyss in the heat of the moment and then gently trying to pull the other back from it.
