Last Samurai Standing begins with a familiar premise. Desperate samurai dispossessed by the restoration of the emperor enter into a deadly game for a life-changing cash prize - all for the entertainment of anonymous elites. Unlike its inspirations Battle Royale and , however, Last Samurai Standing 's violence is chaotic, fast-paced, and kinetic, though it hides a careful choreography that makes the series a more electric proposition than its predecessors.

I started dancing when I was three years old, after asking my mom for ballet lessons as we walked past a studio. From then on, all I wanted to do was dance. That love eventually led me somewhere I, as an introvert, never expected: Hong Kong Disneyland. It started in 2017, when Hong Kong Disneyland held an audition at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore, where I was studying for my diploma in dance.

For sports fans, certain moments are etched in memory, like Sid Bream sliding into home to clinch the pennant or Kelee Ringo's interception to seal a national championship. Even celebratory dances, like Ickey Woods' "Ickey Shuffle," become part of the sport's cultural legacy. These are sequences of planned and unplanned movements, which leads us to ask a question concerning intellectual property law: Can a coach's football play be copyrighted?

"I couldn't breathe sometimes. To be able to sing live, dance, perform. It was hard, but I love that challenge."

Tiler Peck's had a busy year: The New York City Ballet principal dancer had a recurring role in Amazon Prime Video comedy-drama ; curated the Ballet Festival: Jerome Robbins at The Joyce, and brought her critically acclaimed show, Turn It Out with Tiler Peck & Friends, back to New York City Center. She's also choreographing a second ballet for the NYCB,

The show boasts a remarkably talented cast (including Ansel Elgort as the bare-chested, guitar-bashing Godfather) who deftly split the difference between stunning dance moves and the expressive yet subtle dramatics this story-about a young man struggling to find his place in the world while clashing with friends, family and himself-demands. Lead performer Paris Fitzpatrick as Jimmy was revelatory, especially in the final scene where he writhes and spins through a near-suicidal emotional breakdown on a cliff overlooking a raging sea.

Wayne McGregor, resident choreographer at The Royal Ballet since 2006, is best known as a dance-maker, the creator of more than 200 works for his own Company Wayne McGregor, and a wide range of dance companies the world over, who has developed his own contemporary choreographic language relying on the hyper-flexibility of seemingly boneless bodies. In short, we know the work that, by age 55, has earned him a knighthood, CBE, and a variety of international honours, as dance performance;

A mysterious baroque music faded in on darkness at Northwest Portland's When the lights rose, dancer and choreographer BodyVox Dance Center. Carlyn Hudson lay on her back downstage right, donning a sheer, bulbous, chiffon top, complete with a stand-up frill collar. As she began to move, three dancers joined her, one by one. They switched places, following one another's staccato movements, until all stood regally on stage.

CEVIL has unleashed a pulsating anthem with her fresh single "BREATHING LIKE I'M RUNNING", and it's nothing short of a visual spectacle. The music video is an electro-pop fever dream, brimming with playful energy. It features mechanical choreographies and an aesthetically tight staging, all peppered with a humorous undertone. Teaming up with visionary director Lukas Valentin, this collaboration brings CEVIL's wild ideas to life with an impressive visual flair.

Smears simulate the blur of a character or object's motion, creating subconscious links in your mind between their poses to ensure fluid action.

Joe Goode’s latest immersive work, "Are You Okay?", at the Rincon Center, explores emotional fault lines in the national psyche, avoiding aerial dance techniques.

The dance is non-stop, a showcase for the tremendous dancers of her company, all quite different bodies but brilliant technicians, rooted in classicism with Tharp's easy synthesis of jazz, contemporary and vernacular dance forms.

The long-running BBC sci-fi series, which first ran from 1963 to 1989 and then from 2005 onwards, has never been nominated for a Primetime Emmy award, which is shocking given the calibre of performances over the years.

"The mood was celebratory - appropriately so, since this was Pimble's last season as artistic director of the company that she and Riley Grannan founded in 1978."

Otero's decision to film her life and her challenges with mental illness ultimately led her to create a performance that poetically explores the struggle with love and madness.
