The Company

ECuetoMMizeranyLSeguraJMalashock_topCMarshallDynamic, emotionally charged choreography is Malashock Dance’s signature.  The magnificently trained dancers never cease to amaze with their leaps, lifts, powerful sustained movement and artistry.  Founded by Emmy-winning choreographer John Malashock in 1988 after years of touring with top companies such as Twyla Tharp Dance, Malashock Dance’s repertoire includes over 60 original works that thrill, amaze and delight. Audiences are mesmerized by Malashock Dance’s epic oeuvres that interpret human struggles, and are charmed by more intimate and often playful pieces that convey the intricacies of relationships.
