Dancers Yoshihisa Arai, Christine Rocas and Rory Hohenstein were mesmerizing in Krzysztof Pastor’s “Romeo & Juliet”.  Action and passionate love are in abundance in the three act ballet based on the William Shakespeare classic. The entire cast did an amazing job with the complex choreography, but it was the incredibly ardent listed above that held the audience captive.

Yoshihisa may have only had the supporting role of Romeo’s friend Mercutio, however, his expressions and just overall on-stage persona brought life to the production. He clearly demonstrated he was leading man material.
