Reviews

Von Elrich Muller, dance critic for NortseeZietung, Germany

“Dancers from the Mystic Ballet in Connecticut transformed Goran Subotic's highly aesthetic contribution into movement.”

Yaosca Reyes for Hoy, Managua, Nicaragua

“On stage its dancers are like gods who have the power of movement, precision in steps and rhythm, perfection in silhouettes.”

A. Nicolic for Tanjug/Mondo, Serbia

“The uniqueness of Mystic Ballet is reflected in its artistic approach and the incredible talent of its young artists that allow the works to be intimately understandable to the audience. Every movement stems from a strong sense of passion entwined with human impulses and instincts.”[2]
