Lydia Johnson Dance announces its New York season, March 10-12, 7:30 PM, at the Ailey Citigroup Theater, 405 West 55 Street (corner 9th Avenue), presenting a program of company favorites and the world premiere of a work set to new versions of classic jazz standards including "I'm Old Fashioned" by Jerome Kern. The choreography abstracts the romantic arc of these pieces and, while fully enjoying the lyrical romance inherent in the music, the piece becomes somewhat surrealistic, as the dancers seem to function in a world of their own memories.

With every new concert, Johnson reconfirms her exceptional musicality, creating a dance vocabulary and style inspired by her musical choices - which run from Golijov and Glass to jazz to the crooning of Dean Martin.

From the repertory are two ballets to music by contemporary Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov - Night of the Flying Horses andGiving Way, and What Counts to the jazz trio Bad Plus.
