"...a natural in Uzbek dance... [she has] talent ... everything.  [She is] doing real Uzbek dance."

--Tolkin Isakov, Uzbek master percussionist and former Dean of the Orchestral Faculty at the Tashkent State Conservatory in Uzbekistan

"...rippling movements of the wrists, arms and shoulders ... intricately segmented gestural statements, bold manipulation of long headdress veils and kneeling backbends displaying great flexibility of the upper torso." "... Krueger choreographed three of the new works: the two flowing yet intricately ornamented women's dances from Uzbekistan and the celebratory Persian Gulf finale. Throughout the evening she danced with an energized calm and unerring mastery of complex shifts in pose and direction." --Lewis Segal, Los Angeles Times
  "... an extraordinary artist with a remarkable ability to enter and express the cultural and artistic essence of traditional materials from cultures other than her own. Her dancing is especially compelling ..." "... an accomplished choreographer of traditional materials with an ethnographic background as well as a practiced theatrical eye ... her choreography ... [is] sensitively and successfully translated to the theatrical stage." --David Plettner, Managing Director, Loretta Livingston & Dancers, Los Angeles
  "Krueger's mastery of the exacting hand movements, delicate head-slides, intricate footwork and tiny gestures is breathtaking." --Pleasant Gehman, LA Weekly
  "Carolyn Krueger performed two Uzbek dances, both stunning. Her grace and technique are breathtaking." --Pleasant Gehman, Cymbal Magazine, Los Angeles
 "... lyrical, spirited ...a rapid dance with strong, birdlike fluttering of the arms ..." --Dorothy Stowe, Deseret News, Salt Lake City, Utah
  "...arms that intuit the distinctions between what is seductive and what is spiritual ... so sexy, but so virgin... amazing." --Sasha Anawalt,  DANCENOTES/KCRW Radio,  Santa Monica, CA
  "...wonderfully danced and verbalized (in Farsi) by Carolyn Krueger ..." --Irene Oppenheim, Los Angeles Times
