Celebrating 45 Years - Benita Bike's DanceArt

Among the multitude of dance expressions in Southern California, Benita Bike’s DanceArt holds a special place as a company working in the modern dance style/state-of-mind. The Company strives to create expressive movement that fills the space architecturally with line and design. Benita Bike’s DanceArt is known for creating original dance works for the stage and presenting these works both in concert settings as well as in unique “Explore Dance” programs produced in neighborhood sites. This 45th Anniversary show will feature concert works created between 2017 and 2026:

▪ Premiere of a New Work set to gamelan music and an original composition by Dean Wallraff
