Aspen Santa Fe Ballet: BODYTRAFFIC

Celebrate 20 years of BODYTRAFFIC, the Los Angeles–based company that has taken the contemporary dance world by storm with its stunning performers, technical excellence, and dynamic repertoire spanning ballet, modern, Afro-Cuban, and hip-hop. Blending local and global influences, the company reflects the vibrant diversity of its home city while continually pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance.

This special legacy performance includes Schachmatt (Checkmate), where a giant chessboard becomes a theatrical playground. Choreographed by Cayetano Soto and inspired by the cinematic flair of Pedro Almodóvar and the jazz-infused style of Bob Fosse, the work blends sleek precision with playful theatricality.
