At Brooklyn Academy of Music Fisher Theater, Run Don’t Run was performed by a group of potential young dancers. When arriving in the theater, rows and rows of thin, flexible red strings were placed above the audience’s heads and in the center of the theater. From how flexible the strings were, it was obvious that the dancers will not be dancing on them. Indeed, during the performance, the dancers were utilizing the strings to do well in their show.

When there is a dance, there is music to accompany it. The background music changed as the performance continued. Moreover, the melody chosen matched the rhythm of the dancers really well. When the dancers were making large movements, the music will change to a strong, medium-fast tempo. When the dancers were doing slow movements, the music will change to a soft, slow tempo. In addition, the classical music played in the background had a relaxing effect for the audience. The dance and music combination lead to a enjoyable experience.

The dance performance, itself, is also magnificent. All of the performers danced beautifully and with confidence. The slow and elegant moves in the performance showed that it reflected the performance’s name, Run Don’t Run. Such as, in the middle of the performance, the dancers looked like they were in a brawl, but it did not actually look like it was a fight. The motions were so slow that it looked like an elegant dance to me. The members had great synchronization in this part. There was little to no mistakes that can be seen when they were doing this scene. The actions done by one member were received really well by the other member. Though, when the members were doing a flying-bird motion, the females did it better than the males. The females who performed this action had more flexibility and elegance to it. The males made the flying-bird motion look a little like a robotic motion. One point that needs for compliment is one of the female dancers was injured. Even though her ankle was injured and bandaged, she still danced just as much as her other colleagues. With that injury, the dancer still performed with confidence and she did not let her injury affect her.

The ending to this performance was a fabulous ending. This was actually a repetition from the scene in the beginning. The scene showed all of the dancers walking to different sides of the theater leaning on the strings, showing their faces to the audience. This was a great way to end the show, as this was how the performance began. The dancers did not show emotions during this entire performance, but nonetheless, we can feel their emotions through this magnificent dance.
