    What can you expect when hip-hop meets ballet? A whole new aesthetic with eye-popping appeal. These polar opposites are embodied in the work of RUBBERBANDance Group (RBDG) and Artistic Director Victor Quijada. This hip-hop master from Los Angeles melds his formal dance training with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal and Twyla Tharp to create a fresh, new “exciting, seemingly improbable fusion of hip hop, ballet and modern dance” (Los Angeles Times). Collaborating with lighting designer Yan Lee Chan and composer DJ Jasper Gahunia, RBDG brings the Philadelphia premiere of Gravity of Center (2011), a work that tells the story of a nomadic tribe that fights, craves and hustles just to survive.
