A wave of an arm like a willow bending. The cupping of hands as if scooping up water. The gentle laying of a palm against a cheek. With many dancers, the motion of the legs is what captures your eye, but when Sharon Marroquin takes the stage, it's her upper limbs that mesmerize. This gifted dancer and choreographer, known for her work with Ballet East, Diverse Space Dance Theatre, and Big Range Austin, is so focused in her gestures, so precise and yet fluid with her every movement, that each passage of her arms and hands through air is its own poem, its individual act of grace.
