this WAS black grace!! this company is no longer around, niel iriemia still uses the name of the company but all the dancers you people talk of have all left, which is very sad.
Thats very very cool
yeah its no longer black grace! they shouldnt be called that anymore! still great! but not as AMAZING as they were!
I saw this today they were great but your right none of the people in this video were the people i saw today
peneneke, you’re wrong. i just saw them yesterday. so yes…the company is still here.
LOVEmusicxx3, you need to read it properly. the company NAME is still there but blackgrace was about the people more then anything and once they all left but neil and abby, it lost the heart and soul of the true company, BLACKGARCE (95-05).
damn this is cool! I just read they were at WOMAD this year, I hope they’re gonna be there in 2009, planning on going to the festival.
THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!!
Saw them on PBS 2 years ago – OUTSTANDING! Dying to see them live. Will see them in March 2010! What an opportunity!
Even get caught up in the videos!
Can’t wait to see them again!! Great crew!
Saw them last night- this was my son’s favorite. He liked the singing and “how it felt to my ears.” (from a 7-year old ballet boy)
