Regrettably, this event has been cancelled, as the Company has been detained in Europe due to volcanic ash from Iceland.

A new and electrifying force in dance, New York–based Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet champions works by emerging American and international choreographers, combining a foundation in classical ballet with edgy, up-to-the-minute physicality. Led by Paris-born artistic director and former Alvin Ailey dancer Benoit-Swan Pouffer, Cedar Lake is known for the depth and rigor of its residencies with choreographers — including Israel’s Ohad Naharin, who set his frenetic Decadance on the company. The New York Times hailed the work as “dancing that pulls viewers right out of their seats…. Weird and wonderful poetry of the body.” Dance Magazine named Cedar Lake one of its “25 to Watch” in 2008, noting, “With enthusiasm shooting from lithe limbs, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet was last season’s sleeper favorite…. Technical feats, willful exuberance, and emotional power blew audiences away.”
