Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the work ethic, but the Twin Cities are rife with gifted dancers who make competent choreography look good, and good dances look even better. A highlight among highlights is 23-year-old Laura Selle, who currently dances for several of the best choreographers in town. As a dancer, she has the equivalent of perfect pitch. Movement pours out of her as if she were making it up on the spot: Whether jazzing it up or catapulting through space like a force of nature, the athletic Selle makes whatever she dances look totally unaffected. Her robust performing is rock solid but also reveals a vulnerability: She's equally compelling hoisting a man to her chest in a nurturing embrace or devouring the stage like an avenging Fury. Or standing still, an emotional barometer registering the surrounding tumult. When she talks (which she does frequently in the movement-theater works of Matt Jenson and Stuart Pimsler), she speaks the way she dances--directly, without a hint of artifice. An Apollonian dancer in a Dionysian world of increasingly frenzied choreography, Selle embodies the calm at the center of even the most ferocious action.
