The company presents its special brand of wit and
athleticism to create dances that are elegant, technically impressive and
yet somehow whimsical. Years of experience and a high level of technical
skill allow them an ease and elegance on stilts that has become their trademark.
Their unique balletic partnering and adagio work have astounded audiences around the world. Through application of the aesthetics and discipline of dance as an art form, they extend the theatrical tradition of stilt-walking into the realm of stilt-dance.
Because of their wide-ranging backgrounds in dance and theater, they are at home in a diversity of styles. Friends in High Placeshave been seen in a multitude of performing situations, from gala parties, discos and commercial promotion to outdoor festivals, nightclubs, the concert stage, video and TV.
Their repertoire includes romantic ballroom dances -- from sprightly fox-trot to sultry tango and swing. From Turn-of-the-Century (1890's) waltz, to flamenco, 18th century dances and ballet pas de deux. From "high art" to "high comedy." With this repertoire, strong improvisational skills, and the ability to create custom pieces on request, Friends in High Placescan rise to any occasion.
