On the Connolly Dance Company's Fielday performance at the HERE ARTS Center in New York City:

"The audience was very engaged with the company's performance. There were many smiles in the audience... It was obvious the audience was really enjoying the piece."

"Playful, exuberant, and technically proficient, the Connolly Dance Company demonstrated its special magic... Delicate in appearance, Kristanne Connolly is a strong, confident dancer."

Regarding a performance at the Wisconsin Dance Council Awards,2001:

"Your work is superb! I shall long remember the finesse and artistic sensitivity with which you rendered that piece ["FLY! By the seat of your pants."]. It was the highlight of the evening. I want you to know that you have my highest recommendation as performers."

Mariel Wozniak, Coordinator of Fine Arts, Madison Metropolitan School District

"Imagine a very tall Fred Astaire, add an extra bit of athleticism, mix in a dollop of playfulness and top it off with the deliciously mischievous smile of Donald O'Connor. Those are some of the characteristics Patrick Connolly displayed as he danced in "FLY (by the seat of your pants)", a jazzy new work set to the music of Benny Goodman."

"The whole performance was neat! If they were doing a funny dance or a serious one, or if they were going to do a summersault or a flip in the air, you wouldn't know. I had so much fun, I would recommend it to all my friends and other people."
