Their website mentions the April shows (but doesn't give any program information) and doesn't have anything about June dates. Could you tell me where to find more up-to-date information about June -- I may be in NYC at that time and am very curious about what performances are available.

I spoke to the pr people -- this is the information right now. The website is sometimes slow to be updated. The Agnes de Mille shows are in April:

April 28 & 29, 7:30p.m.
A. DE MILLE CELEBRATION - A selection of dances produced by special arrangement with the Agnes de Mille foundation, honoring the late choreographer’s 100th birthday

I hope anyone who goes will report back on these performances!! Anyone out there know very much about this company? Number of dancers or their backgrounds? The website doesn't go into much detail. Anything would be great!!

This link will take you to the company's website.

I saw their all-Tudor program either last year or in 2004. I enjoyed the evening very much and was impressed with the dancers sensitivity to their material. Their Lilac Garden may have been the most moving I've seen.

Did anyone attend these performances?? Can we have a review? Thanks!!
