Ballet BC continues to innovate while combining an awareness of current social injustices and realities.” (LA Dance Chronicle)

Led by French choreographer and Nederlands Dans Theater veteran Medhi Walerski, Vancouver’s Ballet BC has been a leader in the Canadian contemporary dance scene for nearly 40 years, pushing the physical and emotional boundaries of the genre with performances that are “visually stunning and emotionally profound.” (PBS)

The company creates dance at its most essential: visceral, powerful, thought-provoking, and transformative. Their meticulous performances, unmatched for precision, innovation, and inspiring beauty, will be on display in two different programs for their UMS debut. Each performance features a company of 20 dancers in works by some of today’s leading contemporary dance-theater choreographers.
