“The audience, whose age range was predominately between one and nine, stomped their little hearts out to every beat they heard... Bark! In The Park is choreographed by the very talented and charming Chase Brock. He is the man behind the moves of the On Broadway show “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.” The woman behind the music and story line is Karen LeFrak. She is an author, musician/composer and dog enthusiast. It’s no wondering these two made a perfect team in blending together such a wonderfully captivating ballet performance.”

“Mr. Mulligan played Karen LeFrak melodious yet very au courant [Gentle Memories] score impeccably. This ballet and these performers generated a unique atmosphere; I’d love to see this piece again.”
