JLDC will present an evening of their world-renowned repertory, including the world premiere of “Foster" and the NYC premiere of “Volt".

"Foster" In 2016, Jon’s younger brother, Michael Foster Lehrer, developed ALS, a degenerative disease that causes the progressive loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Michael passed away on January 17, 2023. “Foster" is a window into those six difficult years, watching his brother slowly succumb to the disease.

“Volt" Set to five high-octane percussive songs, this new work brings the company’s signature blend of electrifying artistry, breathtaking athleticism, and unforgettable entertainment to a new level.
