Titles of Reviews

Thought I would make a list of JAZZDANCE review titles. It is interesting that they are a bit generic at the beginning and get more specific as the years continue. It is reflective, I think of my developing clarity about what I was doing and as the performing aesthetic became clearer. Here goes!!
