Northrop Dance at the University of Minnesota ventures to downtown
Minneapolis to present Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. Celebrating its 15th
anniversary season, the contemporary ballet troupe has taken the country by
storm with their adventurous sampling of choreographers, range of dance styles,
and an impressively extensive repertoire, acquiring and commissioning works
from the top choreographers of the world. The company that takes "hold of
your heart" (The Washington Post)
performs an exhilarating program of contemporary dance exemplifying its
commitment to commissioning groundbreaking work by both world renowned and
emerging choreographers.

The first American company to commission Spanish choreographer Cayetano
Soto, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet will perform Uneven,
his stunning new ballet. In Hidden
Seconds showcases the dancers' extreme athleticism and yoga-inspired moves by the daring and original Nicolo Fonte. The finishing touch is Jorma Elo's, Red
Sweet, their signature crowd energizer with an evocative blend of
punctuated and abstract movements from the celebrated Finnish choreographer.
