BAD BOYS OF DANCE

International ballet star Rasta Thomas’ fresh, new dance company features the most talented and versatile young male dancers in the world today.  The Bad Boys of Dance are, according to Thomas, “Hybrids that can do it all . . . from ballet to hip hop, it makes no difference.  They’re hot, young and fresh to death.  They have an unparalleled ability to morph from one style to another and are entertaining and exciting to watch.”

Thomas, who has won every gold medal you can win in the ballet world, is a bit of maverick himself.  While most dancers with his technical prowess and stage presence typically attach themselves to major ballet companies, Thomas chose to freelance his career.  As a result, he was free to take on such varied assignments as being a principal dancer in the late Patrick Swayze’s film “One Last Dance” and dancing the lead in Billy Joel’s “Movin’ Out” (where his performance was described as “a mixture of James Dean and Baryshnikov”).

Thomas’ groundbreaking dance company pushes the boundaries of male dancing to create a performance that is at once modern, edgy and absolutely thrilling.  The Bad Boys redefine traditional ballet by fusing classic strength and form with contemporary elements such as hip hop, jazz dance, rock music and gymnastics.  The company is a sizzling sell-out on stages throughout the United States, Europe and Australia.  

The Bad Boys offer an evening of dance so beautiful and dangerous, you’re almost afraid to look – but you won’t be able to take your eyes off these incredible dancers.  And that’s not “Bad” at all!
