Jennifer Dunning of the New York Times said, “Nina, The Prodigy", a suite of dances choreographed by Kevin Joseph to a beautifully chosen selection of songs sung by Nina Simone…was one of the program’s more conventional modern-dance pieces. That in itself was intriguing, given that Mr. Joseph...began his professional life as a hip-hop dancer…(and) the male adolescents who surged through Lakai Worrell's Kwatakyé, a ceremonial piece about growing into manhood, had the audience rocking.”

The Village Voice said,"…(Purelements’) powerful performers attempt to do what few have successfully accomplished. The troupe engages in a mix of ballet, modern, hip-hop, jazz, and West African dance, and emerge without it seeming contrived."
