#ROHuntouchable is the most powerful new piece I have seen for a while - both RB and Shechter at their best.

Thrilling pulsating post apocalyptic mass with dramatic percussive score & mood lighting #rohuntouchable. Interesting mix of East & West — R Macrae-Gibson (@RMGCat) March 27, 2015
#ROHUntouchable is like an army of terracotta warriors come to life.

Enjoyed #ROH4temps some fantastic choreography with lots of hip popping! Captivating b&w finale, Watson and Yanowsky brilliant as always. — Liam Tang (@Liam_Tang) March 27, 2015
Wow, Balanchine is a genius. No other choreographer could make dancers look like they have lead weights sewn into their costumes #ROH4Temps

Still #ROH4Temps was excellent. It was about Space Invaders, right? — Tom (@Owlinflowers) March 27, 2015
#ROHSong is a masterpiece unlike anything else. Emotional, intelligent and one of a kind. I'll never stop saluting you Kenneth!

.@MNunezOfficial devastatingly sanguine in the 'Farewell' section of #ROHSong. She conveys the meaning behind every step and gesture. — Leena Hassan (@leenahassan) March 27, 2015
Thrilled to be taken to #ROHsong Such grace from @MNunezOfficial And then there's Soares and Acosta too…

#ROHSong waited all evening for the best part of the ballets - those bourrees and the final steps. Beautifully executed by @MNunezOfficial — C J MacPherson (@Playingfootsie) March 28, 2015
