Todd Rosenlieb Dance performs an original modern dance repertoire as well as classical and contemporary ballet repertoire. The company blend classical and modern forms, the "downtown" spirit, hints of pop culture and a keen sense of musicality. An ecclectic sensibility allows for the use of a diverse music palette that ranges from Brahms to Rufus Wainwright.
