BODYTRAFFIC

“One of the most talked about companies—not just in LA, but nationwide.” –The LA Times

BODYTRAFFIC is on a mission to inspire a love of dance. With a style that “suggests invention, attitude, and urban edge” (The Boston Globe), the company’s repertory includes works by a range of today’s most prominent choreographers — contemporary dance that is inspiring, accessible, and challenging, a thrill to watch for new audiences and experienced enthusiasts alike.

Led by Artistic Director Tina Finkelman Berkett, BODYTRAFFIC has conquered the contemporary dance world with its stunning performers, technical mastery, and commitment to the most challenging repertoire. Bursting with cutting-edge “vivid theatricality,” BODYTRAFFIC takes the stage at The Purchase PAC with compelling works that embody the company’s energy, sophistication, and sheer joy in dancing.
