Thang Dao’s Roked, set to original music by Paul Guy Stevens, was dedicated to the late Philadelphia dancer Debora Chase-Hicks and celebrated personal freedom. It was a beautiful piece with balletic steps that had the dancers in blues, greens, and grays moving as one, breaking away, and returning to the group. A particularly lovely duet had a woman pushing toward and pulling away from her partner in controlled stretches and falls.
