On April 18, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John A. Heffern will open a
joint performance of the Bad Boys of Dance, an American dance company,
and the National Ballet of Armenia at the Aram Khachaturyan Concert
Hall in Yerevan. The performance blends the grace of classical ballet
with the passion of popular dance. The tour will continue with joint
performances in Gyumri at the Atchemyan Drama Theater on April 19,
7:00p.m. and in Vanadzor at the Abelyan Drama Theater on April 20,
7:00p.m. The performances are open to the public and free of charge.
Bad Boys of Dance was founded in 2007 by American dance prodigy Rasta
Thomas. This amazing ensemble pushed the bounds of dance with athletic
jumps, endless turns and endearing individuality. The company has
brought their magic to the masses, giving over 150 shows a year and
performing for over 500,000 fans worldwide. Bad Boys of Dance shared
their signature piece, “Rock the Ballet,” with Armenian audiences.
The National Ballet of Armenia was founded in 1933 and is led by
Artistic Director Roudolf Kharatian. The company has toured widely in
Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Asia. Its
repertoire is solidly anchored by the great classical ballets and also
includes many works created specifically for the company, including
the one-act ballet “La Revancha del Tango” that they featured in
these joint performances.
