Dancing the fine line between high art and high camp, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo delights audiences around the world. Since their formation in 1974 their concept of has not changed. The Trocks are a company of professional male dancers performing the full range of the ballet and modern dance repertoire, including classical and original works in faithful renditions of the manners and conceits of those dance styles. The comedy is achieved by incorporating and exaggerating the foibles, accidents, and underlying incongruities of serious dance. The fact that men dance all the parts-heavy bodies delicately balancing on toes as swans, sylphs, water sprites, romantic princesses, angst-ridden Victorian ladies-enhances rather than mocks the spirit of dance as an art form, delighting and amusing all in the audience, from complete dance novices to the most knowledgeable connoisseur.

Parodying classical works from Swan Lake to Giselle and the choreography of everyone from Isadora Duncan to George Balanchine to Martha Graham, the Trockaderos offer irresistible evenings for dance aficionados and complete novices. Combining a loving knowledge of dance with a wicked comedic sensibility, the Trockaderos never disappoint.
