According to a Star Tribune review, "Splice competitive ballroom dance with a mischief-filled narrative, an eclectic song list and lots of sexiness and sass, and you have the Beyond Ballroom Dance Company."
This company offers all the excitement of the TV sensation, 'Dancing with the Stars,' with the artistry and expertise that these professional ballroom dancers bring to the stage. They have reinvigorated traditional dances - the waltz, tango, fox trot, etc. - by integrating them into dramatic narratives. Their show in Staples will feature performances by seven dancers, including guest artists and dance champs Gene and Elena Bersten.
For over a decade, Beyond Ballroom Dance Company has presented the joy and beauty of ballroom dance to thousands through groundbreaking theatrical productions and educational programming.
Founded in 2003 by dance champions who formerly competed against one another, the company blends the technical expertise of competitive ballroom dance with the artistic scope of theater. BBDC's original works combine ballroom and Latin partnership dance with other dance forms, creating a new genre that stretches the boundaries of ballroom dance.
