As usual, the lighting and costumes complemented the mood of each piece. However, on a minor note, HBC may want to invest in white and light pink leotards that are double lined.Overall, HBC delivered a well-received performance. It is not only purists who will agree that the second half of the show was more enjoyable—and the recital ended on a strong and positive note with the smiles of both the ballerinas...
