A repeat winner. Showering us with excellence at the highest artistic level, with a summer incubator up at Chautauqua in Upstate New York, N.C. Dance Theatre continues to astonish and reload. Year after year, NCDT stands for exciting new choreographies, brilliant new dancers and a galvanizing educational presence at its NoDa HQ. Aspiring dancers can hardly believe the treasure that lies in their midst. I can hardly believe how unappreciated this world-class gem is by the b-ball besotted, tailgating, NASCAR-mad masses and bigwigs of the Q.C.
