“Two questions invariably come to mind every time I see one of the consistently fire-breathing performances of DeeplyRooted Dance Theater...First: Why, given the extraordinary talent of its dancers, and the exceptional quality of its repertoire, is this company...not more famous? And second: Why isn’t Deeply Rooted championed as this city’s counterpart of the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater?”
— Hedy Weiss, WTTW
“Greeted by the audience with an affectionate exuberance that swelled to roars of laughter and approval … performed with Deeply Rooted’s signature attention to detail, lithe technical skill, and dramatic nuance.”
— Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
“DRDT is here to stay...[it] wasn’t just ‘made in Chicago,’ but makes Chicago and will continue shaping the creative landscape and greater heart of this city(and beyond) for lifetimes to come.”
