It’s no surprise that American Contemporary Ballet is our favorite dance company we’ve experienced, as we’ve sung their praises in the past with The Nutcracker Suite, Burlesque and Inferno, Homecoming, and Astaire Dances. We describe them as not your mother’s ballet, and while I have brought my own Mom to ACB’s ballet before, this is [...]
