Lar Lubovitch Dance Company
40th Anniversary Tour of Lar Lubovitch Dance Company Comes to Kingsbury Hall
October 24, 2008: Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, touring for the first time in ten years, will stop for one night only at Kingsbury Hall as part of the troupe’s 40th anniversary tour. The company, known for works characterized by musicality, rhapsodic style and sophisticated, formal choreography, will perform at Kingsbury Hall on Tuesday, November 18 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $22.50 - $34.50 and are available by calling 801-581-7100 or visiting www.kingtix.com.
The Lar Lubovitch Dance Company was founded in 1968. Over the past 40 years it has gained an international reputation as one of the world’s best dance companies. Celebrated for both its choreographic excellence and its unsurpassed dancing, the company has created more than 100 new dances and performed before millions throughout the United States and in more than 30 foreign countries.
In Salt Lake, the company will perform “Jangle: Four Hungarian Dances” with music by Bartok, “Dvořák Serenade,“ and “Men’s Stories: A Concerto in Ruins“ with original music by Scott Marshall.
Touted by the New York Times as “one of the ten best choreographers in the world,” Lar Lubovitch is one of America’s most versatile, popular and widely seen choreographers. In addition to choreographing new works for his company, Lar Lubovitch’s dances have been performed by many other major companies, including American Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet, Joffrey Ballet and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. His dances on film include Othello (broadcast throughout the U.S. on PBS’s “Great Performances” and nominated for an Emmy Award), Fandango (winner of an International Emmy Award) and My Funny Valentine for the Robert Altman film “The Company,” (for which Lubovitch was nominated for an American Choreography Award). His work on Broadway includes Into the Woods (Tony Award nomination), The Red Shoes (Astaire Award) and the Tony Award-winning revival of The King and I.

"Billy Siegenfeld is on to something with the Jump Rhythm Jazz style, a matter of taut, precise, fast and far-moving jazz dancing... The dancers are like hard little projectiles hurtling through space... each step and gesture are clear, and soon the hurtling becomes a kind of ground-skimming flight that captures the exuberant physicality of good dancers when moments of extreme control and abandon are seamlessly combined."

Jump Rhythm Jazz Project
Last summer, I attended the Dance Teacher Conference in New York. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my dance career. With out a doubt, I would highly recommend it to anyone who teaches, choreographs or dances professionally. It will change the way you feel about dance. I thought I loved dance, but after that conference I knew I loved dance. I really can't explain it, you just have to experience it, trust me!
While I was at the conference, I took a class from Billy Siegenfeld. He blew me away! It was so fun, interesting and a huge eye-opener about how to get your dancers to actually move in class. The energy we felt at the end of the class was such a big difference from the beginning. He brought out feelings that we never thought we could feel during a dance class. He is an amazing dancer, performer and teacher.
Billy is the Artistic Director for the Jump Rhythm Jazz Project, and they have a show coming up in New York. If you are in NY on October 18th, make sure you are there. I am not kidding, you will have the time of your life!
