Celebrating their 40th anniversary, Lar Lubovitch Dance Company is in the midst of their first US tour in over 13 years! Making an exclusive one-night stop in Aspen, Colorado, they will perform one of their signature pieces, the haunting Men’s Stories along with several other classic and new pieces TBA.

Lar Lubovitch has been hailed by The New York Times as "one of the ten best choreographers in the world," and the company has been called a "national treasure" by Variety.

In addition to the work for his own company, Lubovitch has created ballets for many companies, including the New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Avin Ailey American Dance Theater, and NDT.

"His dancers are lovely, his choice of music impeccable, and his work is fluid and extraordinarily crafted. Lubovitch manages to strike that delicate balance in modern dance between the onstage interplay of his dancers, and their direct appeal to the audience...These ingredients add up to a night of dance that is nothing short of inspirational."

Performances are held at Aspen District Theatre at 7:30 pm.
