"At one moment, most of the dancers left the space and Yebel Gallegos performed an exquisite solo. As his body rattled and curved, small droplets of sweat sprinkled off of him and twinkled in the luminous light." - Rachel Luebbert

"[Kate] Weare’s choreography also gave Yebel Gallegos’ exacting technique a chance to shine..."
- Kathy Adams
"...Mourner’s Bench created by Talley Beatty, inspired by Martha Graham’s Lamentation (done sitting on a bench) is a man’s solo beautifully and lovingly performed by Yebel Gallegos..."- Dean Speer

"Gallegos’ frenzied series of fouetté turns while holding a chair to a musical listing of the original 13 British American colonies brought a round of cheers from the audience, both lightening the mood and highlighting the absurdities of the hoops newly-arrived U.S. residents may face."- Liz Ivkovich

"And, after several sections featuring divergent scenarios, viewing an ending of sparse (and articulate) duets and solos amplifies the quiet presence of each dancer — Yebel Gallegos and Melissa Younker in particular — as each finds footing and explores extension."- Ashley Anderson
