Don’t miss this one-night-only performance by one of the most recognized and respected performing arts brands in the world!
Dance St. Louis kicks off its 57th season by presenting Complexions Contemporary Ballet at the Touhill Performing Arts Center.
Whether it’s LOVE ROCKS (choreography by Dwight Rhoden, music by Lenny Kravitz) or STAR DUST: FROM BACH TO BOWIE, Complexions has been hailed as “game-changing… forging a path for what ballet can be instead of what it historically has been” (The Guardian).
The cutting-edge ballet company, which is based in New York City, was founded in 1994 by Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richmond — “two of the greatest virtuosos to ever emerge from Ailey land [Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater]” (The New York Times).
Complexions Contemporary Ballet has awakened audiences to a new, exciting genre with its singular approach of reinventing dance and contemporary ballet through a groundbreaking mix of methods, styles and cultures. Complexions’ high-octane movement astonishes audiences by pairing its fierce evocative style with diverse musical ranges.
With stunning gifted dancers and powerful choreography, Complexions has been hailed as a “matchless American dance company” (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Complexions has performed on five continents, in more than 20 countries, to over 20 million television viewers and to more than 300,000 people in live audiences.
The company continues its mission of bringing unity to the world one dance at a time.
