A program so enjoyable, that I left feeling exhilarated and energized
- Doris Hering, Dance Magazine

Finding ways to breach the "closed system" of the Downtown dance community has been a specialty of DancenowNYC since its founding in 1995. "Dance Mojito," the sparkling and most recent installment of DancemOpolitan presented this past weekend at Joe's Pub demonstrates just how successful its strategies are.
- Elizabeth Zimmer, Gay City News (2007)

Establishes a level of playful informality that implies the work will tend towards levity and brevity, and thereby perhaps not profundity or deep investment. This is the series's strength, though. DancemOpolitan is where one can take a dance novitiate, where work is accessible without being dumbed down.

- Alicia Zuckerman, New York Magazine

The events at Joe's Pub have proven to be an excellent showcase for dance as intimate or cabaret entertainment and will spawn an ongoing series of evenings. There is definitely something about a space like Joe's Pub that lends itself equally to ethereal, transcendent, quiet beauty and raucous, irreverent, broadstroked insanity, usually comic.
