About the Company
A.I.M by Kyle Abraham is widely recognized as one of the most consistently excellent troupes in the field today. The movement vernacular seamlessly blends various genres, including modern, contemporary, ballet, and hip-hop. It’s an ever-evolving, mercurial amalgamation that captivates the senses. Theresa Ruth Howard of Dance Magazine describes it as a crazy, sexy, cool fusion, a visual feast – a delicious “postmodern gumbo.”
