"Manzanales’ Con Brazos Abiertos is an exceptional, heart-tugging beauty..." - LA Times
"Sor Juana is a must see." - Critical Dance
"Paloma Querida is a visual masterpiece..." - Chicago Tribune
"Ballet Hispánico has a real jewel in Michelle Manzanales’s “Con Brazos Abiertos,” one that deserves to be seen by a wider audience. It’s not often that a dance manages to capture our hybrid American nature with such a light touch." - New York Times
"Ms. Manzanales’s [Hope is the Thing with Feathers] sends [the dancers] over the stage as if impelled by a summer breeze, building and sustaining a momentum that beguiles with its lightness and fleetness as might a feather teasing and tickling the senses."
- Wall Street Journal
"Manzanales' "Sugar in the Raw" -- with its hypnotic movement motifs, its use of space and gesture...is masterful and could easily became one of the troupe's signature pieces." - Chicago Sun-Times
