Hell's Kitchen Dance is an ensemble of young performers, mostly from The Juilliard School and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, who received fellowships from the New York-based Baryshnikov Arts Center.  Praised by the New York Times for "virtuoso dancing" during its first tour in 2006, the ensemble's second tour will feature works by choreographers Aszure Barton, Benjamin Millepied, and Donna Uchizono. The works will be danced by Mikhail Baryshnikov and Hell's Kitchen Dancers Aszure Barton, Jonathan Alsberry, William Briscoe, Hristoula Harakas, Lesley Kennedy, Na-Ye Kim, Doug Letheren, Jodi Melnick, Shamel Pitts, Emily Proctor, Ian Robinson, Kyle Robinson, Cynthia Salgado, and Ashley Wallace.

The Baryshnikov Arts Center, Mikhail Baryshnikov’s artistic venture that opened its doors in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City in November 2005, is an international center for artistic experimentation and collaboration, which serves as a creative laboratory for emerging and mid-career artists from around the world and across all disciplines. The Hell’s Kitchen Dance tour offers an opportunity for national and international audiences to experience fresh talent and the works created by artists selected by Baryshnikov and produced in the stimulating environment of BAC.

Both the July 10 and 11 7:30 pm performances of Hell's Kitchen Dance are currently sold out.  An additional matinee performance on July 11 at 1:30 has been added and will go on sale Friday, May 18 at 12 pm.
