ABOUT DESDMOND RICHARDSON<\/strong><\/h5>\n

DESMOND RICHARDSON (Co-Founder, Co-Artistic Director Complexions Contemporary Ballet), the first African-American principal dancer of American Ballet Theatre, received Tony Award nominations for his role in the original cast of Fosse on Broadway, as the principal character \u201cTony\u201d in Twyla Tharp\u2019s Broadway production Movin\u2019 Out, making his Broadway singing debut in the Burt Bacharach\/Hal David -Ann Reinking\/ Scott Ellis Broadway production The Look Of Love, and as a standout in recent Tony Award-winning Broadway production After Midnight. In January 2016, he graced the cover of Dance Teacher Magazine. With his technical virtuosity and statuesque expressive demeanor, he has been hailed by The New York Times as among the great dancers of his time. Lara Hartley poetically described him on the Ballet Magazine website as \u201cMoving Sculpture, a body that is art, passing through time and space with power and grace \u2013 all parts connected, never stopping but heart-stopping in beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n
