"Pops and locks set to Bach"
  • - NY Times

With clever, risk-taking choreography set to a mix of classical music selections like Claire de Lune, Firebird, Swan Lake, and Flight of the Bumblebee - this contemporary, hip hop dance troupe fuses the intensity and beauty of the two art forms, creating something entirely fresh and new. So you think you know Hip Hop? Classical music? Think again.

The Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra, in collaboration with the nationally recognized dance company, Fly Dance Company, will perform a wide variety of memorable classic and pop tunes. Don't miss this unique opportunity to see this amazing dance company perform with an incredible symphony orchestra.

FLY’s performance style is called “theatrical hip hop” — “theatrical” because acting is an essential element of the style. FLY has been spreading their infectious “theatrical hip hop” around the world since 1992.  Notable performances include Washington's Kennedy Center, Miller Outdoor Theater, Jacob's Pillow, Vail International Dance Festival, Lincoln Center and Bob Hope Theater.
