If you’re desperate to see dance beyond watching TikTok, the Kennedy Center has just the thing: live performances. It recently announced the 2021-2022 season with exciting debuts (classical Indian dance company Akram Khan), big-name collaborators (Meshell Ndegeocello), and some reliable favorites (Alvin Ailey,
The Nutcracker). Looking ahead to next summer, the lineup also features a special week dedicated to Black artists within ballet, called “Reframing the Narrative.”
In October, New York-based Ronald K. Brown known for his bold work fusing modern, West African, Afro-Caribbean, and other dance genres will bring his company, Evidence, to present a trilogy of pieces.
