 "Its production values are considerable, with contributions from talented 
local designers as well as prominent artists from Mexico City and New York. 
The latest installment of the Everts' exposition of Latino culture is an idea 
whose time has come (read the census figures). Simply look around - the old 
monocultural Midwest is gone. There's a need for the explanation and 
interpretation of cultures to one another. That's a job for artists. "

"Part of the fascination of the program lay in the contrasting but equally 
charismatic qualities of the Everts. Their choreography breathes quiet 
ecstasy and eroticism. The Everts' understated devotion may have helped make 
the dances that "something," work created and performed for a larger purpose 
than the self. 
May they soon return."
THE NEW YORK TIMES...June 2002 ( Jennifer Dunning )

"The sensuous choreography reminded the public of the hot , humid 
Latin-American countries and the crowd got caught up in the smooth flow of 
music, dancing and visual imagery. With this innovative new production, the 
Everts have outdone themselves, and they have also tapped into the explosion 
of interest in all things Latino. An enriching aesthetic experience."
THE PLAIN DEALER....June 2001
