"...Most remarkable was the solo dance of the Russian, flawlessly danced by Mauricio Canete. Canete thrilled the audience with a series of gravity-defying toe touches and breathtaking pirouettes..." Dance Theatre of Bradenton, Florida
"...Mauricio Canete was the exception. His clean technique, combined with his take-no-prisoners, risky performance, was a bright spot in all three of the evening's ballets..." Ballet Florida / Palm Beach Post

"...But most important, there's dance of the sort only Mauricio Canete can provide. He's Ballet Florida's diminutive star, a puckish personality with athleticism and energy to spare. So, who else better to play Puck? He doesn't steal scenes so much as he makes the entire ballet a more delightful experience, right down to his final gesture of spreading pixie dust on the stage..." Ballet Florida / Palm Beach Post.
"...Dracula's henchman Renfield, danced by Mauricio Canete with robust dramatic flair and feats of kinesthetic wizardry, was a wild, eccentric, frenzied, almost lovable characte..."

"...Canete also danced a very brief solo by Ma Cong, originally choreographed for the NY International Ballet Competition. It's a show-off piece which couldn't have been more than 120 seconds long. Those 2 minutes are packed with super-swift movement, quick jumps, tours en l'air, inventive gestures for arms and hands, and tragic-comic desperation. You need a lot of control to pull this off. Canete was wonderful..." Ballet Florida.
