See what audiences are saying about Suzana's new show:
Ms. Stanković has enormous talent in every realm, for starters. She is an exquisite dancer…petite and powerful: extraordinarily limber. She has great ideas- and obviously, lots of them- for dance themes backed up by a terrific sense of music.....
[And] her theatrical range….when she put on over-sized, bejeweled spectacles she was goofy and girlish. In Why Me?, a gentle rocking backward while on her knees….she evoked a Giselle in modern dress. If she sings, Kristin Chenoweth has a challenger.
Ms. Stanković’s sense of drama was harrowingly evident. in Fear and Doubt and
A Prison of My Own Making.....
Love Beckons, a gorgeous duet [was] romantic and perfectly executed….there was a graceful spooning of bodies, standing or kneeling, that suggested unity wordlessly.

Suzana Stanković is a great dancer (Ballet, Modern, all of it). She's also a great Performance Artist as exemplified in her new piece SUPERGIRL!, a brilliant dance/martial arts combat piece that shows her as the sexiest, most fluid Performance Artist west of the Atlantic Ocean.

Suzana Stanković is a dancer with high technical skills, charm, vivaciousness,
and a sense of humor.
As a featured soloist with Savion Glover's troupe, this charismatic performer stole focus whenever she was on stage.
- Richmond Shepard, Dramalogue Winner; Critic, Performing Arts INSIDER and lively-arts.com; Owner, The Richmond Sherd Theater, NYC
Suzana Stanković’s interpretation of ballet mirrored the percussive nature of tap…
with feet moving quickly and tightly to Savion Glover’s repetitive beats…
she danced through his lingering taps with poise.
- Carley Petesch, San Francisco Chronicle
The juxtaposition works when small, feisty [Suzana] Stanković’s neater steps prick at Glover’s rhythms.
- Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice
She danced with compact and enigmatic grace. She expressed musicality with her whole body. Ms. Stanković is a choreographer and dancer to watch.
- Robert Abrams, Editor-in-Chief, www.exploredance.com
Suzana's vision is uniquely her own.

AUDIENCE COMMENTARIES
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed Suzana's dance-theatre piece, Desire & Sacrifice.
It had ALL the qualities I love in dance and which I believe are the
formula for success: good music, powerful story and development, emotion, fabulous
dancing, great costume, good looks/body, sex-love-pain-humor. I saw her perform by chance and didn't know who she was but I immediately said to myself, 'I want to photograph her'.
- Ken Paprocki, Photographer/Writer, www.kenpaprocki.com
Suzana’s performance clearly showcased her dramatic range, conveying the playful and the heartbreaking.
- Dean Dacian, Actor
Ms. Stanković creates chamber ballets in the classical tradition- emotional episodes that awaken the senses and touch the heart. She herself is a dancer of great artistry with a petite, flexible body and impressive extensions. One leaves the performance with a feeling of spiritual renewal and great joy.
- Dr. Meche Kroop
After months of working with Suzana, it became obvious that we were in the company of a truly talented and passionate individual.
- Diana Pan, Dancer and Engineer
Suzana’s performance was every bit as beautiful and moving as it had been described.
- Sean Nolan
Suzana Stanković is an extremely decent person with clear principles and ideals. I have such high regard and respect for her as a person and artist. I loved her modern ballet,
Be With Me. It portrayed the true language of the heart and depth of the human spirit.
- Flor C. Lampert
Suzana’s artistic vision, work ethic and sense of idealism and integrity are extraordinary. She is dedicated to virtues and values, which are becoming increasingly rare in our world. I believe she will soon become an artist of major influence, inspiring a heightened sense of our potential as human beings.
