"When the choreographer of a dance company consciously makes the decision to eschew excess ornamentations such as costumes, lights, and recognizable movement vocabularies, one imagines how you would even go about choreographing a dance piece. I have seen minimalist-inspired pieces that either left me utterly appalled from the work’s pretentiousness or completely in awe by the captivating choreography.  Fortunately, Raiford Rogers Modern Ballet left me completely inspired and humbled. It truly takes commitment and tenacity to produce this caliber of work.

If there is anything to be said about minimalism in dance, it is showcased through Mr. Rogers, his choreographic ideas, and his dancers. At their core, his pieces are technically demanding yet so subtle that they draw attention. For the uninitiated who may find abstract modern dance baffling, don’t wonder how it all comes together for Rogers’ company, just know that you will leave thrilled and satisfied."  Myra Joy Veluz, Stage & Cinema Magazine
