I loved the performance by 605 Collective at the Roundhouse Performance Theatre presented by New Works on Sunday at 2pm. The show was sold out. Each dancer represented their strengths, creativity and dynamism on stage. They worked really well together. The chemistry in the team was prevalent with a very strong bond. I can see them move with fluidity and passion. The jumps and leaps were amazing. They showcased popping, contemporary and hip hop. Urban contemporary is emerging as a new and popular form. Technique and versatilty is prevalent in each dancer. Most have training in a variety of dance genres from ballet, jazz, tap, theatre, modern and hip hop. 605 Collective is one of the most talented and versatile upcoming groups. I appreciated the Q&A at the end of their performance as well as I got to know a bit of background from the skilled dancers at this performance: Josh Martin, Lisa Gelley, Maiko Miyauchi and Sasha Kozak. The most important thing I got out of the Q&A and watching their performance was that the mental aspect of being a dancer is just as important as the physical because visualization is the key to executing a great performance.
