“Parallel Groove for 8,” the creation of choreographer Paz Tanjuaquio (a New York-based UCSD alum), at the Grantville Trolley Station, is the most dancerly of the performances (the others feature more running, jumping, balancing and comical moves). There’s more coupling and lifts in this high-octane piece, which fits wonderfully into the locale, the moves cleverly mimicking the readiness, rush, waiting and riding of a daily trolley commute.” – Pat Launer, Santee.Patch.com
