This weekend's concert was a great success! Thank you so much to everyone who came out to support us.  We got a lot of positive feedback and wonderful thoughts. We could not do it without all of you behind us.

We were very excited to perform a couple of new works, Tango Pointe, choreographed by Kelly Roth and Body of Water 2 - The Aftermath, choreographed by Nannette Brodie, and all of our other pieces as well. We even got to see Nannette dance at duet with Andy Vaca, as well and she did an amazing job! It is always such a pleasure to get to perform a full weekend of dance and we were all sad to be done.

We are going to continue to work hard and have a lot of upcoming events, so please continue to check back on the website and our Facebook for upcoming information!

Thank you again for your continued support.

We are excited for our upcoming concert this weekend, which opens on September 18th! We have two shows on Saturday at 2 pm and 8 pm, and on Sunday the 19th we have one more show at 2 pm. The concert will take place at the Martha B. Knoebel Theater, at California State University, Long Beach.

We will be presenting a concert of works created by Nannette Brodie, Andrew Vaca, Lori Bryhni, Erica Villalpando, Peter Kalivas, Jennie Sustaita and Kelly Roth.  The company will be joined by Andrew Vaca with his company, Jazzworks - Long Beach, for this event. 

Nannnette Brodie and Andrew Vaca will premier a new duet commissioned by Mr. Vaca, choreographed by Lori Bryhni.  The new NBDT work that will premier at this concert is Ms. Brodies work, Body of Water, with music by Shane Cadman, sets by Seth Arreola, lighting by Jody Caley and costumes by Diane Brown. This work has been a two year project funded in part by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission and the Arts Council for Long Beach.

This concert is going to be great and we hope that everyone can make it! Look for rehearsal pictures to be posted soon!
