Created from humble beginnings - sitting around a kitchen table in a New York studio loft - COMPLEXIONS CONTEMPORARY DANCE has experienced a meteoric rise to the forefront of the contemporary ballet collective. Founded in 1994 by Desmond Richardson (who has performed with Michael Jackson and Madonna) and Dwight Rhoden (who has performed with Prince and Lenny Kravitz), both of whom will be present on stage for the East Lansing engagement. The company became the first to foster the most diverse cast of artists and dancers of its time - one that would revolutionize choreography and expose the ballet world to a mix of methods, styles, and culture to create a new spectacle of human movement.

Powerful choreography and strong musical interpretations are staples of this state-of-the-art ballet crew, having choreographed for the best of the best - Alvin Ailey, Cirque du Soleil, and So You Think You Can Dance among them. Bearing iconographic recognition on a global scale and enjoyed on over 5 continents, COMPLEXIONS CONTEMPORARY DANCE is more than just a dance company - it's a revolution. As America's first fully multicultural ballet company, and with numerous awards and accolades under its belt, COMPLEXIONS CONTEMPORARY DANCE has burst onto the dance scene in the most profound and significant way.

With an Insight Preview available pre-show and an After Chat available post-show, the dance company is at the audience's full disposal for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn the inner workings of one of the best dance companies currently on tour.
