The Feliciano Dance Company has presented the work of its groundbreaking artistic director for over for years. Founded in 2003 when Angel Feliciano branched out from his prestigous dance, film, and theater career to work with his own group of dancers. FDC offered its first performances at alternative site throughout Manhattan. Today, the company is regularly seen in landmark stages of New York, Netherlands, and Belgium, televised on the WB Network, MTV, and has done corporate functions for the likes of IBM and performing for noteworthy causes such as Dancers Responding to Aids and the annual Jerry Lewis Telethon. The repertory has grown from solo and small group pieces to include major evening-length works choreographed and music composed by Mr. Feliciano.

“Another crowd pleaser was “Workin’ for Peanuts” by the Feliciano Dance Company, to music by the company’s director, Angel Feliciano. A group of seven male dancers created with gestures and an empty box an initial scene of a subway car, with six dancers strap-hanging while the last shyly and furtively spoke to them, peddling his peanut candy. Suddenly, all seven were facing us in a phalanx of pure menace. The music was hip-hop, as was the inspiration for the dance style. But this was grown-up dancing, not cute acrobatics for kids, full of power and energy, gorgeous ever-changing configurations and perfection in the unison work.”

“There are several performers to love: Mr. Feliciano, slight in stature, moves with a graceful precision. Takahiro Ueno is astounding, particularly when he lowers himself to the floor, knees touching so that he balances on the inside of his feet. The lithe Diosmer Reynoso spins on his head with such ease that you imagine that he could just as easily be on his feet. And Nobuya Nagahama is a scene stealer with his sinuous blend of popping and voguing. Group sections, in which the dancers wear masks spotted in the opening film, are gripping..”
