A world of dance<\/p>\n
BalletX: Fall Series BalletX is back with the return of Amy Hall Garner\u2019s Switching the Groove and Christian Denice\u2019s In the Wake, and a new piece by Loughlan Prior. Prior\u2019s Macaroni (BSR reviewed here<\/a>) was a hit in 2024, and his world premiere, Speakeasy, promises to take us for a jazzy trip down memory lane to the days of Prohibition in Philly. <\/p>\n Nrityagram Dance Ensemble: KHA\u1e44KHA\u1e46\u0100 the sound of dancing feet Nrityagram means \u201cdance village,\u201d and the ensemble is part of just such a village\u2014a collective of artists in the oldest classical Indian dance form, Odissi. They will be performing a retrospective of the works of choreographer Surupa Sen as part of Penn Live Arts\u2019 Arts of India Festival<\/a>. (November 5th, the company will also hold a master class for intermediate to advanced students. The class is free, but registration<\/a> is required.) <\/p>\n SHARP Dance Company: The Chosen Ones The performance is subtitled \u201cA night honoring Joseph Cotler and his choreographic contributions to SHARP Dance Company.\u201d The evening will take a look back at Cotler\u2019s work for the company and present new works by Cotler, choreographer Miguel Qui\u00f1ones and company founder and artistic director Diane Sharp-Nachsin. Expect a varied program with a choreographic sensibility that touches the heart.<\/p>\n Koresh Dance Company: Never\/Mind The much-loved Koresh Dance Company is on the road, bringing founder and choreographer Roni Koresh\u2019s Never\/Mind to Montgomery County. According to Koresh, the piece is about the creative state of mind that stays true to its own authentic self, and is not swayed by expectations or negative opinions. (BSR reviewed the Philadelphia premiere here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Compagnie Herv\u00e9 Koubi: Sol Invictus I loved Compagnie Herv\u00e9 Koubi when I first saw it in 2017 (BSR review is here<\/a>) and snapped up my tickets as soon as I heard they\u2019d be returning. Choreographer Koubi grew up in France. When he discovered that his great grandfather was Algerian, he set out to explore those roots through dance. His choreography combines contemporary dance with hip hop and capoeira in a stunning display of explosive movement that draws from his French and Algerian heritage but sometimes feels like a step into a different world.<\/p>\n And Also…<\/p>\n Philadelphia Ballet: Day of the Dead Philadelphia Ballet, in conjunction with the Consulate of Mexico in Philadelphia is celebrating the Day of the Dead with dance and other cultural activities. (The event is currently at capacity.)<\/p>\n BalletX: Free Fridays BalletX offers monthly pop-up classes on Friday!
