Cedar Lake Video Roundup

Allow me to indulge in a #humblebrag: I feel so incredibly lucky to live in NYC with access to so much amazing dance! I’m seeing Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet TONIGHT, and I can’t wait.

We’re united in our obsession with this mind-blowing company—you probably saw them on our February 2014 cover! (If you haven’t had a chance to see Cedar Lake on one of their tours, you can still catch them in Durham, NC, July 5-6 at the American Dance Festival.)

I first saw Cedar Lake perform way back in October, 2010 and it rendered me speechless. It’s not an exaggeration to say that my world shifted a little bit. I have extremely high expectations for tonight.

In case you need more Cedar Lake in your life (I know you do), the Brooklyn Academy of Music made these awesome videos showing excerpts from each of the dances in their program. The excerpts are too short, but they give you a sense of the thoughtful structure of the program—an important decision, considering Cedar Lake’s diverse repertoire.

If that’s not enough for you (it’s never enough) check out these other Cedar Lake links that BAM has rounded up for your viewing pleasure.
