Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal

Presented by DANCECleveland and The University of Akron’s E.J. Thomas Hall and Dance Program.

Provoking emotion through exquisite precision of technical contemporary movement, Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal brings stunning dance to the stage with every performance.

Since its founding in 1972, the company has grown exponentially, performing in venues across the world with repertoire from top choreographers including Azure Barton, Benjamin Millepied and Barak Marshall among others.

Known as the “feel-good company”, Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal intertwines modern, contemporary and even tastes of jazz and hip-hop in their mixed repertoire, creating a performance that speaks to both dance lovers and those who are brand new to the art form.

With vitality, humor and spirit, the fall performance will mark the ninth season of DANCECleveland’s partnership with The University of Akron.
