Approach - Philosophy
We love dancing together as a company and creating new choreography in a collaborative setting. Since the company was formed, our goal is to have fun creating meaningful dances that resonate with our audiences. Rehearsals are focused, energetic and where we develop our ideas for new work into dances to perform on the stage. Annually, you may find us performing in July in the Dances on the Lakewalk in Duluth or in the Dances at the Lakes Festival in Minneapolis. These are free outdoor performances produced by Freshwater Dance Collective (Duluth) and Ray Terrill Dance Group (Minneapolis). To join us at our next performance, please visit our performances page here: https://kineticevolutions.yolasite.com/kinetic-evolutions-performances.php
We hope to see you at a show or upcoming event soon!

Dance critic Lightsey Darst describes Sarah’s choreography, “LaRose’s (work) shocks with brave ambition…LaRose at once elevates our littleness to quiet nobility and humanizes this high music (Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata), calling attention to the arduous steps of its structure.”
Dance critic Caroline Palmer from the Star Tribune says "The program includes the witty, pratfall-driven quintet “Stuck in 5” and the rock-and-rhythm inspired “Visceral Experiences,” featuring propulsive live music from the band B-Line."
