Complexions Contemporary Ballet

The company, based in New York City, is a multicultural mix of classical and contemporary dancers.

[1] Complexions Contemporary Ballet's unique style draws on inspiration from the visual arts, theatre, street-dance and pop culture.

Both Rhoden and Desmond Richardson were dancers with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

The cast, the material and the choreography that we do is celebrating the beauty of things that are very different and putting them together... It’s all about the contrast.

It has appeared throughout the US, including the Joyce Theater/NY, Lincoln Center/NY, the Brooklyn Academy of Music's/NY, the Mahalia Jackson Performance Arts Center in New Orleans, the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, the Music Center in Los Angeles, and the Winspear Opera House/Dallas.
