"Haan herself continues
to amaze in her abilities to find new places to go in choreography and dance."
"… a video made with Leslie Merrill with a working title of “In A Moments
Time,”… was a compositional delight..."
"Haan’s choreography is
always complete and this concert was a wonderful counterpoint to other Fringe
activity that so often strives for the weird and non-politically correct. Haan
herself is a very brave performer, never shunning vulnerability, and the
dancers she chose to embody her choreography in this concert were most skilled
and appropriate.
-Don Atwood, www.worlddancereviews.com
“…a lyrical fury.” “Haan is an actress as well as a dancer.” -CHICAGO READER

“Alone, valiant and willing to be
expressive…”
“…the mystery and magic of pure
on-stage, visceral energy.”
“…her skill and charm as a
performer will endear her audiences and give them an understanding of
how dance can speak.”
“…Wohl Haan’s facial
expression alone is enough to warrant the ticket price.” -BOULDER WEEKLY
“…an inspiring statement for
community and compassion.”
“An absence of flashy moves and
gratuitous technique, allowed the powerful simplicity of Haan’s
piece to mount.”
-FT. COLLINS
WEEKLY, CO
“…thought-provoking social
commentary.”
“Haan’s choreography grouped
two, three and five dancers together at once in different variations
that centered on the strength of the dancers. Not once were the
groups overbearing and distracting from the others. And every time
someone moved, there was purpose and direction.” -DESERET NEWS,
Salt Lake City, UT
“…elegant an dpolished…eccentric
moves and an elastic face.”
“No other dancer can move quite
the way she does…” -BOULDER DAILY
