Nominees- Best Dance Show
6-8-14
Dance shows are really difficult to create and produce. Don't underestimate the amount of talent and skill it takes to create a fabulous dance production. What's great about this year's nominees is that we have different styles and mediums of dance from break dancing to ballet to modern and pieces with small and large budgets. It's also nice to see world premiere shows and new choreographers nominated for their work in HK's world of dance. New work should be celebrated.

WHITE, DANCE Kho

With the belief that contemporary dance can, and should, be a medium to open up dialogue and bring disparate cultures together, DANCE Kho creates WHITE as an exciting collaboration between two very contrasting worlds: Mexico and Hong Kong.
Les Sylphides and More, Hong Kong Ballet
Les Sylphides was a salon style ballet of several smaller pieces, including a world premiere ballet. It was engaging to see so many different styles of ballet in one night.
