Three marvellous dance performances in a range of styles from ballet to hip-hop to tap made by three major choreographers, Chloe Arnold, Jennifer Weber, and Christopher Wheeldon with a world premiere, curated by Tiler Peck. The principal performers, all stars in their different fields, are Tiler Peck (ballet), Lil Buck (hiphop), Sierra Boggess (singer), Brooklyn Mack (ballet), and the Syncopated Ladies (tap).

​If your idea of tap dancing is Fred Astaire, prepare to be astounded by The Syncopated Ladies who give a whole new perspective to contact with the dance floor. Lil Buck is a hiphop performer who, together with Tiler Peck and  Brooklyn Mack, has rethought the classical ballet Petrushka for the 21st century and blurred the lines between street and traditional dancing. Remarkable.
