Best of Dance 2023: LA and Orange County Take Center Stage

Los Angeles is increasingly becoming a city that loves Dance. This last year saw great performances and great signs that dance is taking hold in the City of Angels.

Time Spell, performed as part of Turn it out with Tiler Peck, is a showstopper that is destined to become a classic. A joyous explosion of dance in its many forms from tap to ballet, expressed by a diverse group of dancers, it is a thrilling declaration of what dance can be. In some ways, it is what Dance needs to be to attract younger, more diverse audiences and to fill them with a love of not only modern dance but traditional ballet – and for them to tell their friends to go.

I know because that’s how I was introduced to Modern Dance. When I was fifteen years old, a friend took me to see Alvin Ailey. Seeing Judith Jameson perform Revelations is a feeling that has never left me. And I experienced that same joy again this year when I saw Time Spell.

Choreographed by MacArthur Award Winner Michelle Dorrance (literally a genius tap dancer), Jillian Meyers and Tiler Peck with music by Aaron Marcellus and Penelope Wendtlandt, Time Spell celebrates the virtuosity of bodies in motion.

The Best Dance of 2023

New York City Ballet doesn't visit these shores very often – more's the pity! – but the good news is, a visit is promised for the new year. Just to whet our appetite, a few NYCB stars, led by the thrilling Tiler Peck, lit up Sadler's Wells in March. Watching them felt like a privilege.

Best of 2023: Dance

The year’s two most enjoyable nights of dance were decidedly analogue. Tiler Peck is a name you’re sure to see much more of. For years a principal dancer at New York City Ballet, she has now cut her teeth as a producer-choreographer. And how. Turn It Out With Tiler Peck was on for only three nights at Sadler’s Wells, but given the audience response (it nearly blew the roof off) a return visit is a must. In the course of a generous and varied bill, the clincher was Time Spell, a vast ecumenical romp bringing tapdance, jazz, street and musical improv into contact with ballet to explosive effect. Even the two scatting vocalists turned out to be hoofers as well, and as the creative melée reached a dizzying crescendo of noise and leaping bodies, even the ballerinas rose up on their pointes to have a stab at tapping.
