What people say about us:

"There is no more defiant a land that I can think of than AXIS. They showed me what dance could be." -Bill T. Jones

"A program of cannily constructed and masterfully executed dances awaits anyone venturing into the home season of AXIS Dance Company this weekend…So irresistible has been AXIS' rise that one long ago stopped marveling at how these performers transcend handicaps…In fact, one attends their concerts with the expectations one brings to any superior repertory modern dance company." -Allan Ulrich, Voice of Dance

"The performance itself exceeded our hopes. The quality of the choreography and the presentation was wonderful. Both the evening and student matinee performances were excellent artistry." - Hanlina Kuslieka, The Fine Arts Center, UMass Amherst
