NAMED ONE OF THE GUARDIAN’S TOP TEN DANCES OF 2017

Dorrance Dance returns from 14 – 16 November with a UK premiere – the critically acclaimed Myelination, alongside two shorter works

TICKETS: www.sadlerswells.com

Transforming the world of tap dance, choreographer, performer and Artistic Director Michelle Dorrance has dedicated her work to exploring the rich traditions and breaking new boundaries of America’s original dance form. In this diverse triple bill, her company Dorrance Dance expands ideas of what tap dance can be.

In the Bessie Award-winning Three to One, Dorrance places herself between two barefoot contemporary dancers, performing to the music of Aphex Twin and Thom Yorke. In Jungle Blues, lively humour is set to the New Orleans swagger of the Grammy Award-winning Branford Marsalis. Closing ensemble work Myelination takes inspiration from electrical transmissions between nerve cells, dancers darting rapidly like firing electrons throughout.

2019 has seen Dorrance Dance embark on its most ambitious year of production and touring to date, with its largest solo engagement so far at New York City Center in spring 2019. Michelle Dorrance is also set to choreograph new Broadway musical, Flying Over Sunset, at Lincoln Center Theater in 2020.
