reviews. 


The Guardian, Luke Jennings  [23.04.2017]    ★★★★ 
"Shelley Eva Haden is the central figure, at once immortal fantasy heroine and cult priestess.



DanceTabs, Graham Watts   [20.04.2017]  ★★★ 
"none more so than the central figure of Shelley Eva Haden; her blonde ponytail and precocious sensuality seeming to mimic many routines and poses from Spears’ earlier pop videos (oh, yes, I’m an expert!)."


Emma Cann [18.03.2017]   ★★★★

DanceTabs, Bruce Marriot  [17.03.2017]   
"Led out by the charismatic and powerful
Shelley Eva Haden the pop numbers slickly shimmer"
