The quality of the dancing was excellent, with the men out-performing the women in cleanness of lines, and wonderfully precise syncopation

“Extremely hard-hitting and impactful dance-docu-drama… Everything about Detention works.”
Modern Table in Ham:beth
The six dancers present sequence after sequence of precise, tight, intricate, and repetitive dance, that certainly hits the spot.
