“The company took the house not so much by storm as by quantum physics. Jon Lehrer's strikingly original choreography transformed the stage into an energy field of super-charged particles.”
The Dance Enthusiast
"The warmth and generosity of Lehrer’s leadership radiates through his dancers.
Jon Lehrer Dance Company proves that the full spectrum of the human experience - joy, love, comedy, pain, and mourning - does in fact belong in dance."
Galerie Ortenau - Offenburg, Germany
“Dynamic, Powerful, Elegant they bring an absolute passion for the dance. The audience in Offenburg
just rejoiced for being part of this great moment in dance.”

“Lehrer has built its fan base through the sheer creativity of its work, the incredible athleticism of the dancers and irresistible vibe of a company that has figured out how to strike that elusive balance
between art and entertainment."
