Complexions Contemporary Ballet

New Orleans Ballet Association welcomes Complexions Contemporary Ballet to the Mahalia Jackson Theater with its rock-concert brand of high-octane ballets and a band of thoroughbred dancers. Led by former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater virtuosos and So You Think You Can Dance alums Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, the evening will be a thrilling joyride filled with Rhoden’s fiercely kinetic choreography, daredevil dancing by superstar Richardson and company, and a hip soundtrack of pop, rock, and classical anthems from Bach to Bowie. 8 pm. nobadance.com.
