PopLifeSTL, “Bodytraffic Is A Road Trip Through The American Psyche And Beyond” by Chas Adams
"…one of the most talked-about young companies, not just in L.A. but nationwide…"
— Los Angeles Times, Laura Bleiberg
"bringing vivid theatricality to a range of provocative works commissioned from some of today’s most dynamic choreographers."
— The Boston Globe, Karen Campbell
“Drop gritty, contemporary New York and European choreographers into the fast-paced, freeway world of Los Angeles, sprinkle with energetic young talent, and you get the super-fast, super-sexy, super-expressive intensity of Bodytraffic.”
– Dance View Times
"It’s not everyday that, even before a company finished the first piece, I think: ‘And now I have a new company to love.’”
— ADF Premiere, The Herald Sun, Susan Broili

Direct from Los Angeles, Dance St. Louis presents BODYTRAFFIC Saturday, April 6, 2024 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center.
Named “the company of the future” by The Joyce Theater Foundation, Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch,” and “Best of Culture” by the Los Angeles Times, BODYTRAFFIC has surged to the forefront of the contemporary dance world with compelling style that “suggests invention, attitude, and urban edge” (The Boston Globe).
Widely acclaimed for its “peerless dancers” who “can do it all from hip-hop to ballet” (LA Dance Chronicle), the world-class contemporary dance company is composed of artists who received their training in some of the finest schools throughout the world.
The combination of superb dancers and accomplished choreographers led the Los Angeles Times to describe BODYTRAFFIC as “one of the most talked about companies – not just in LA, but nationwide.”
Led by Artistic Director Tina Finkelman Berkett, BODYTRAFFIC has conquered the contemporary dance world with stunning performers, technical mastery, and a commitment to the most challenging repertoire. The company is deeply committed to producing acclaimed works by distinctive choreographic voices.
Surprising, unforgettable and bursting with cutting-edge “vivid theatricality”, the company continues to make waves from coast to coast with its universal appeal to new audience members and dance lovers alike.
