Keone and Mari Madrid at the En Dance Showcase

  I’m just going to come out and say it: I want to see Keone and Mari Madrid choreograph a full-length narrative hip-hop show. They got their feet wet in January with Time for Love, but I think all of their adoring fans would agree with me when I say that we’re ready for something […]

The Madrids' Farewell to Choreo Cookies

You guys, I have goosebumps. And not because it’s currently like 60 degrees in NYC. (C’mon, June weather. Where you at?)

Keone Madrid Turns up for Turnips

Can I just take a second to say that Keone Madrid may be my all-time favorite dancer? (Or at least, he is today.) There’s just something so clear and committed about his work. Everything is full out—from the frequent level changes to the intricate, almost-too-quick-to-see gestures. It’s athleticism at its most pristine. That’s why, IMHO, […]
