A high-octane troupe of stellar dancers towing the lines of classical and contemporary movement, Rasta Thomas' Bad Boys of Dance features "fast and furious pop dancers steeped in ballet basics" (Chicago Tribune). Appearing on the stage at Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, February 20-22, the company's fast-paced 80-minute signature program is performed by six male and two female dancers to a soundtrack of popular music from Kanye West, Michael Jackson, Coldplay, The Beatles, Robin Thicke, Usher, Queen, Justin Timberlake and more.

Mit der Idee geliebaugelt hatten sie schon ewig - nun mussten sie es einfach tun: Rasta Thomas und Adrienne Canterna, die Schopfer der gefeierten Rock The Ballet-Show, haben sich mit ihrer brandneuen Produktion Romeo And Juliet einen großen Wunsch erfullt. Seit Jahren haben sie bereits davon getraumt, dieser Geschichte ihren Stempel aufzudrucken.

Rasta Thomas hat mit „Rock the Ballet" das klassische Ballett entstaubt. Jetzt katapultiert er ROMEO AND JULIET in das 21. Jahrhundert: klassischer Tanz kombiniert mit Hip Hop und Jazz, faszinierende Videoprojektionen und ein außergewohnlicher Musikmix machen William Shakespeares Drama zu einer zeitgenossischen Inszenierung, die es so bisher noch nicht gab. Einfuhlsam, sinnlich und leidenschaftlich und doch voller Power und Energie.

Es war der legendare Fred Astaire, der folgenden Satz pragte: 'Tanz ist ein Telegramm an die Erde mit der Bitte um Aufhebung der Schwerkraft.' Die Bad Boys des Tanzes unter der Leitung und Choreografie von Rasta Thomas gastierten im Admiralspalast Berlin mit ihrer mitreißenden Show 'Rock the Ballet'. DIe Schwerkraft wird an diesem Abend gleich mehrere Male aufgehoben, denn dass was das hochkaratigem siebenkopfige Ensemble bietet ist schlichtweg atemberaubend.

„Die Show erobert die Welt im Flug“ prophezeite die Sonntagszeitung aus Zürich 2009 begeistert anlässlich der Premiere von ROCK THE BALLET in der Schweiz. Und sie sollte Recht behalten: Angesichts des beeindruckenden Erfolges von mittlerweile fast 500.000 begeisterten Zuschauern weltweit und ausverkauften Tourneen in Europa, Australien und Asien ist längst offensichtlich, dass Rasta Thomas und seine Bad Boys of Dance mit ihrer spektakulären Tanz-Show genau den Zeitgeist getroffen haben
