Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo brings its internationally beloved troupe of male dancers to Milwaukee to perform a brilliant combination of skillful pointe work and hilarious parodying of classical ballet favorites like Swan Lake. Founded in New York City in 1974, the company, affectionately known as the Trocks, first captivated small audiences in late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts who embraced their unconventional humor and impeccable technique. 

Since then, the Trocks have pirouetted their way onto the world stage with their playful blend of dance knowledge, comedy, and athleticism. Whether you’re a die-hard dance lover or a first-time balletgoer, their mix of artistry and absurdity will leave you in awe. The Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals.” Sydney Star Observer. 

“This is a company that brings its audiences pure joy.” –The Seattle Times 

“Ballet is a completely absurd art — and we love it to pieces: that’s what Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo proclaims with every move.” –Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times
