Tip tap tip tap, do a pirouette, and twirl! We'll admit, we're not entirely clued up on our dancing jargon, but we do know some of the best upcoming dance shows for all you dance lovers out there to see in Chicago...
Looking for some glitz and giggles? RuPaul's Drag Race alumni Alyssa Edwards is sashaying her way across the country, bringing her signature charm, jaw-dropping death drops, and stunning costumes. The Drag Race icon, Netflix star, and dance instructor is glamorous, and sassy and knows how to put on one hell of a show!
Through the use of precision-controlled lighting effects (inspired by none other than Apple) Artist of Light fuses the wonders of lighting technology and dance to break the mold of traditional musical theater, set to the story of a shy artist armed with nothing but a magical paintbrush that can bring his creations to life.
Breaking conventional boundaries, Benise blends music and dance in a unique spectacle, marking the only show of its kind. With his Spanish guitar in hand and accompanied by a stage filled with talented musicians and intricately choreographed dancers, Benise transports the audience on a mesmerizing journey through various styles including Spanish Flamenco, Cuban Salsa, Brazilian Samba, Parisian Waltz, and more.
Under the direction of Robert Battle, the company delivers dynamic performances characterized by impeccably choreographed dances that seamlessly blend ballet, jazz, and rumba. Their pieces explore distinctly African American perspectives on history's broad scope and humanity's role within it. Over six decades have passed since Alvin Ailey and his troupe of African American dancers debuted at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Since then, they have solidified their reputation as one of America's most varied and inclusive dance companies.
Ekman's Midsummer Night's Dream diverges from Shakespeare's classic, offering a surreal journey into a fantastical realm of unearthly pleasures. Against the backdrop of the Scandinavian summer solstice festival, dancers engage in a day of jubilant festivities and love beneath the maypole, only to find themselves drawn into a dreamlike realm. Blending classical and modern ballet techniques, Ekman creates a visually captivating experience that challenges the boundaries between reality and fantasy, leaving us questioning: is it all just a dream?
With over 60 years of tradition, this is one show you don't want to miss.
