An evening showcasing JLDC’s signature dynamic, powerful, athletic, and elegant style. 

Featuring works that span the companies’ 18-year history. Including 2 Buffalo premieres, JLDC’s performance at BPAC will take the audience on a journey they will soon not forget. The Saturday evening performance will include the following works, and much more:

“Foster” (2025)

Jon’s heartfelt tribute to his younger brother, Michael Foster Lehrer, who passed away on January 17, 2023, after a 6-year battle with ALS. 

“Led To Love” (2026)

Set to Led Zeppelin’s iconic “The Rain Song”, this brand new duet, which will have its premiere in Germany on March 7, proves that love and classic rock never go out of style!

“The Way Within” (2006)

The solo that started it all had its premier in Buffalo in 2007, during the company’s first ever performance at UB Center for the Arts. Inspired by the novel “Siddhartha” by Herman Hesse, the term ”the way within" refers to discovering enlightenment and self-knowledge through one's own experiences, rather than through any external teachings or prescribed doctrine.

Don’t miss your chance to see JLDC back in Buffalo, where it all began, and see why 

Dance Enthusiast proclaimed, "The warmth and generosity of Lehrer’s leadership radiates through his dancers. Lehrer proves that the full spectrum of the human experience—joy, love, comedy, pain, and mourning—does in fact belong in dance.”
