Christopher F. Davis, Producing Director of Dancers Responding to AIDS recently had the following to say about In Motion’s performance and Nikole LaChioma’s choreography, "Paranoiattack is the perfect example of what Bob Fosse would have done in the year 2006. It is the exact vocabulary established by Mr. Fosse while still looking fresh and relevant to today’s taste. I’ve danced in 7 Broadway shows and have worked with Anne Reinking, Chita Rivera, Ben Vereen, Chris Chadman and was part of the pre-Fosse invitation only workshop getting to work with the incomparable Gwen Verdon. I consider this to be one of the most original pieces based on the Fosse vocabulary that I have ever seen from a non professional group."
