The New York Times has described Mansur's work as "a tour de force of authoritative, evocative performing, its kaleidoscopic physical imagery voluptuous, elegiac and whittled keen from moment to moment."

Initiated by Sharon Mansur in 2002, mansurdance develops contemporary multi-media performance work, both choreographic and improvisational, that examines the mutable relationship between personal awareness of the self and finding a physical language to express that fluid reality. The dynamic interplay between public and private, what we conceal vs. reveal is a primary focus. mansurdance presents works that are thoughtful, subtle, and contemporary for their multilayered content and approach that integrates the immediacy of improvisation with the resonance of choreography. Attention to experimentation, movement invention, detailed nuance, startling imagery and kinetic veracity are all integral aspects of Mansur's work.

Recent performances included the Solar 1 Festival (NYC), Capital Fringe Festival (DC), Goose Route Dance Festival (WV), and Dancescape (MN).

"[Mansur] doesn't choreograph her dances, she paints them…[she] has an eye for color and line, a knack for coursing her dancers through the unadorned space that leaves movement trails---after-images, if you will-that linger and blend with the ensuing action onstage," (The Washington Post).
