Music and dance gain equal footing when a magnificent guitarist leads a heartfelt ecstatic flamenco program; expect tradition to intertwine with innovation for a thrilling afternoon delight.

An homage to Gregory Hines and other tap masters that mixes archival film with live performance, the show is a full-bodied tribute to an expressive, exuberant American dance form.

 

PAB kicks off its season with three guaranteed crowd-pleasers, including Agnes de Mille's Rodeo, plus a world première by resident choreographer Matthew Neenan.

Expect tongue-in-cheekiness as this witty, athletic corps mingles with dazzling imagery in Water Bodies, a multimedia program where dancers cavort about wide-ranging aquatic scenarios.

 

Find out what's cooking in the minds of three emerging choreographers, plus one young theater artist.

 

It's a tremendous feat for a dance troupe to thrive for almost 40 years. If you're wondering what's the stuff that makes it possible, catch this program by one of our city's most enduring and top-flight companies.

 

When's the last time you found yourself singing along to a contemporary dance performance? It could happen when celebrated NYC downtown artist Elkins puts his off-kilter spin on The Sound Of Music. Twisted fun as genders are bent and mountains are climbed.

 

This contemporary ballet ensemble with tough technical chops and plenty of creative juices just keeps getting better. The fall program showcases three world premières.

 

A charming, energetic splash of cultural tradition, this large folk ensemble is colorful both in costume and dance routines that dazzle via splits, spins and dramatic flourishes.
