Lydia Johnson Dance is a contemporary dance company that performs the choreography of Lydia Johnson, primarily in New York City and New Jersey. It is notable for combining ballet and modern dance,[2][3][4][5] sometimes isolating and reworking "components of classical ballet technique."[6] The company was founded in 1999[5] by Johnson, a choreographer.[8][7] She has choreographed dance works to various composers including Beethoven,[8] the alternative rock band Cake,[5] Philip Glass,[5][13] Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov,[13] Polish composer Henryk Górecki,[9][16] and others. Since 2008 the company has received annual support from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.[10] Performances tend to have six or seven[2] to twelve dancers,[11] and the company has performed in numerous venues in New Jersey and New York City,[12] and it is based in northern New Jersey.[13] In addition, Lydia Johnson Dance runs a school to teach dance and choreography.

Reviews

Critics have described the company's performances as infusing "ballet with a contemporary sensibility,"[14] romantic,[15] handsome,[16] with a calm deliberateness,[9] and invoking a "harmonious world."[17] A New Yorker critic described her performances as "simple, tasteful, and unhurried."[18] A dance critic described a performance as "the most organic choreographic fusion of ballet and modern-dance techniques ever invented,"[1] and wrote:

{{quote|... Lydia Johnson has created a tasty cocktail of dance vocabulary that looks markedly original and feels very naturally blended. ... A quartet of women in partnership with four folding chairs created ravishing tableaux of crystalline linearity ...|Backstage critic Lisa Jo Sagolla, 2009[1]}}New York Times critic Jennifer Dunning wrote that Johnson created "a sense of life flowing unhurriedly over mysterious human stories."[19] Dunning described one performance as having a "strangely cool, crisp eloquence" in the way that Johnson's dancers used their arms.[20]

Dance instruction

Lydia Johnson Dance has a dance school for children of all ages.[2][21] Classes in ballet, dance, hip hop, and choreography are held at venues such as the Burgdorff Cultural Center in Maplewood.[2] In addition, a dance camp of several weeks duration is offered during the summer for children from first through tenth grades.[22] Company members sometimes serve as mentors to students.[22] At the end of a semester, students present dances they have choreographed.[23]
