Jon Lehrer Dance Company (JLDC), led by Queens-native Jon Lehrer, will present an evening of their world-renowned repertory, including a world premiere, NYC premiere, and JLDC favorites. Don't miss you chance to see the comopany Dance Magazine describes as "Strikingly orignal" and "Breathtaking physcial excitement"!

Foster (World Premiere) 

In 2016, Jon’s younger brother, Michael Foster Lehrer, developed ALS - a degenerative disease that causes the progressive loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Michael passed away on January 17, 2023. Foster is a window into those six difficult years, as Jon watched his brother slowly yet too quickly succumb to this horrible disease.

Volt (NYC Premiere)

Set to five high-octane percussive songs, this new work brings the company’s signature blend of artistry, athleticism, and entertainment to a new level. 

Plus JLDC favorites: 

Bridge and Tunnel (2001) Jon’s playful and joyous homage to growing up in Queens, NY - specifically his high school years in Flushing. Originally created on Giordano Dance Chicago while Jon was in the company, this celebratory work is set to the music of Paul Simon (another Queens native).

A Ritual Dynamic (2007) The work that started it all! A Ritual Dynamic was the very first company piece, created to define JLDC's signature combination of artistry, athleticism, and entertainment.

Here In This Eden (2013) A dreamy and harmonius duet about two people completely lost in their love for each other, as if they are the only two people in the world.

La Follia (2022): The madness and musicality of Vivaldi combined with the physical and athletic ingenuity of the JLDC dancers.

mingos! (2023): A raucous and wild comedic romp set in a classic Las Vegas revue, where a Flamboyance of Flamingos are transformed into an Ostentation of Peacocks!

JLDC's performance was made possible by a 2024/25 CUNY Dance Initiative Award Residency at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center.
