I haven’t said a word for 4 minutes and 30 seconds, eyes peeled to the screen in such awe. This was absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed every second of it. Bravo to you both 🌹

This is a perfect example of fluid ->movements ->unity ->liquid gold.

[nellieken]

Mesmerising. Amazing choreography. I was enraptured and I could not look away

[alisonsneed]

So well matched, a male dancer as elegant and graceful as the woman while being masculine.

I'm an ex-dancer/choreographer myself. I trained in classical ballet, modern, jazz, tap, flamenco and completed a diploma in Kathak (Indian classical). I started dancing at the age of 7 and continued till, at the age of 28, an injury brought a stop to it. I hope this helps impress upon you with some weight that I say this with a life of dance behind me... Richard House's choreography, his and Marijana's execution of the choreography in this performance is so spotless, so thoroughly engrossing and magical to behold. I can honestly say that I don't think I've seen anything so beautifully enthralling before in my life - and I've seen a fair bit of dance from many cultures and perspectives.

I hope you can get this message to Richard on my behalf as I've been looking for a way to send him a note: I want to see more. If he had a channel on Youtube, I'd be watching it every day for new material. What an astoundingly adept choreographer, the composition, the technique, the organic flow from movement to movement and the fantastically unexpected yet oh-so-natural-once-you-see-it *metamorphosis* from second to second in this piece is just...

It's like water to the lips of a person dying of thirst.

Bravo... bravo... bravo...

Thank you for sharing this piece with the world! I do hope to see more, much more from Richard House.

What a mesmerizing performance with beautifully elegant dancers, innovative choreography, and heartfelt music. The move (? Idk correct term) starting approx at 01:33 made me gasp. Everybody involved in creating and performing every aspect of this ballet is enormously talented. 😍💐💕

[RodneyCrater]

I find it deeply moving and impressive how Richard gives the majority of his attention to bringing Marijana's radiant talent and beauty to the forefront.

[sandrarachnik]

Breathtakingly beautiful and magical ! Absolutely mesmerizing !

[koechenkoyen]

I don't really know how much i am playing this song. It's made me deep relaxe. Even my husband sing it in part 'get lost in a dream' everytime.
