"Few choreographers have a flair for comedy, but McAllister - one half of
Huckabay McAllister Dance - is one of them."
— Rita Felciano, SF Bay Guardian, on Jenny's After Ever Happily
"[Huckabay] shows you the music in the dancing with fidelity and in sometimes amazing detail. She has an irrepressible sense of humor, often sparked by the rhythms. And she can turn emotional corners with a sure touch that may also be mysterious."
— William Glackin, The Sacramento Bee, on All Emma Lou! All Huckabay!
"There is not a bone of pretense in the collective body of this rambunctious yet smoothly trained ensemble. In Ménage a Cinq, they eat up Emma Lou Huckabay and Jenny McAllister's humor-inflected choreography with gusto and skill, and an infectious enthusiasm. While one of them worked in a quasi abstract vein, and the other with an over the top theatricality, the evening held together because of the choreographers' effervescent sense of humor which allows them to look at mass entertainment with affection and also ironic distance."
— Rita Felciano, Dance View, on Ménage a Cinq
"'You want luscious?' they seem to demand. 'I'll give you luscious.'"
— Apollinare Scherr, SF Weekly, on Jenny's Tastes Like Chicken
"The dances in Erratic Eroticism speak the dialect of common interaction, distending or stripping down recognizable gesture to reveal obscured meanings."
— Apollinare Scherr, SF Weekly, on Erratic Eroticism
"A macabre spectacle of debutante dementia."
— Sima Belmar, SF Bay Guardian, on Emma's Tea Party
"HMD features strong dancers and a zest for the surreal, clearly rendered through athleticism and release."
— Sima Belmar, SF Bay Guardian, on Running with Scissors
"Bloodlust and gratuitous beaver."
— Sima Belmar, SF Bay Guardian, on Running with Scissors
"Finely wrought, funny and highly ironic dance drama... Love became a cross between vampiristic hunger and pagan grotesqueries."
— Ann Murphy, The Oakland Tribune, on Ménage a Cinq
"Their breadth of imagination and economy of means for the most part are exemplary; the performance by the company of seven is excellent."
— Rita Felciano, SF Bay Guardian, on Erratic Eroticism
"Jenny McAllister seems to have a real flair for narrative. Her body grabbing French Kiss wonderfully evoked the hormone driven steaminess of late nights at dance clubs."
— Rita Felciano, SF Bay Guardian, on Eat Dance
