The Lenfest Center for the Arts at Washington and Lee University presents Complexions Contemporary Ballet. Influenced by a wide range of distinct dance styles, rhythms and periods, Complexions Contemporary Ballet reflects the rich diversity present in our world, through its exciting range of mixed cultures and dance forms.

Complexions comes to Lenfest Center for a one night engagement on January 11, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. at the Keller Theater.

Hailed as “two of the greatest virtuosos to ever emerge from Aileyland” by The New York Times, founders Desmond Richardson and Dwight Rhoden have created more than 90 ballets for Complexions using a wide range of classical, modern and contemporary dance. Combining the best of physical athleticism and danceable grace, Complexions captivates audiences with gripping athleticism, soulful movement and stunning delivery.

Complexions is a multicultural ballet, made up of 16 dancers from different ethnic and dance backgrounds and they incorporate all dance techniques into their shows.
