Acclaimed for his Tony® Award-winning choreography of Broadway’s The Lion King, Garth Fagan remains one of the great reformers of American dance. He has honed his incomparable, revelatory technique –a blend of ballet, modern and Afro-Caribbean movements.

Celebrating 39 years of innovation in dance, Garth Fagan dancers (from this Rochester, NY-based company) communicate the exquisite depth and joy of his choreography, embracing eclectic influences ranging from classical to invigoratingly funky, and from ethnic to free-form to avant-garde. Strong, clear, and precise, the company performs with controlled abandon, changing on a dime from slow and luxuriant to athletic and explosive. Fagan’s unique choreographic language, constantly reinventing itself, is bold, fresh and life-affirming. Take a peek… garthfagandance.org
