Flying Steps presents Flying Bach Tickets

Flying Bach was so incredibly good. Who know such an odd combination like classical music and break dancing would go so well together?

We expected a much more energetic show. If you go because you like ballet, you'll find there isn't enough. If you go because you want the high-energy, "Red Bull" break dancing, you'll be bored by the ballet/modern dance portions. The advertisements did not give a true idea of what the show truly is. Also, there were LOTS and LOTS of kids. Some were well behaved but some weren't only adding to the frustration of the evening.

My daughter who is a dancer, love it! Enjoyable show.

The Flying Bach is a creative blend of 2 very different worlds. All the performers were superb in their parts.

When the male dancers danced, it was great. The rest of the time it was just boring. Also the bass on the soundtrack was awful

Kudos to the Flying Steps for trying something different and doing it passionately! At the end of the day, the choreography failed at some points to be more than just technical prowess; dancing that was more attuned to the dynamics of a piece and not just the rhythm of each note would have taken it to the next level. Excellent precision in dancing, though, and the ballerina was excellent in her unique role. I do wish the entrance had come off less like a college house party, but that's more on Red Bull's marketing aesthetic than the Flying Steps. Worth the try just to see something new!

I went with my husband, 7 & 14yr nieces and we all had a great time. I hope this show comes back to Chicago.

Talented and very entertaining group of gymnasts/dancers! A must see!!!!

I highly recommend this delightful combination of music and dance, past and present, wonder and magic. Enjoy!

The show was spectacular. The dancing was incredible, well choreographed and the music was well performed. But, my seats--which should have been excellent (5th row floor) were terrible. They do a lot of work close to the stage (even lying on it) and I could often not see what was going on. I imagine the only "good" seats were the balcony. From the way people were shifting and adjusting around me, I don't think anyone could see very well.

Hip hop paired with Bach. It was enjoyable to watch the clash of two worlds not normally paired together.

Loved the balance of classic music, ballet/modern dance, with break dance. the story with the ballet dancer with the breakdancers coming into her world was very well done!!!

Loved it. The dancers are extremely talented. I loved the culture clash and the amount of ballet that was still performed. I loved the stories that were told and their body language was on point. It was super fun! Great date night or girls night activity. Kept me, my boyfriend and our friends entertained the whole time. Just wish it was a little longer!

When my daughter, 25 wanted to go, we got her tickets. She asked us to go and though I was not sure, the three of us went. It was incredible, most of the dancing was to classical piano or harpsichord. I am not a fan of loud electrical music, but when it was used here it fit well and it did not last long enough to bother me ( My hearing is messed up from an injury in the Army, and that kind of music can bother my equilibrium and cause me nausea ). In fact it served to bring an appropriate shot of energy. The dancers performed incredible gymnastic stunts in a choreographed poise. In fact there was 1 part modern ballet to 4 parts break dancing. My wife and I had a great time and really liked the music!

Red Bull Company is astounding; music was classic but adapted to contemporary sensibilities; visuals stunningly creative. Civic Opera should be a venue for more serious dance performances. My only criticism was that performance was 20 minutes delayed in starting--management should require and warn that people come on time or sit in the rear! It disrupted the experience for the rest of us who were there on time to watch people take their seats in front of us for almost the entire performance!! Also people should not be allowed back in if they leave. People were getting up to leave to get a drink and coming back in. Let's keep this formal so that all of us can have a fantastic aesthetic experience.

Flying Steps was incredible! I could have done without the ballerina and story line. The music was beautiful. And when they would break from the pianist to the record, the beat and revreb was superb.

This was an absolutely amazing show! The quality of everything was unbeatable! The dancers were mind blowing, the pianists were phenomenal and the sound quality was perfect! Overall a great experience!

pretty awesome. would go again the dancing was paired well with the music

modern and fresh. innovative notion of Bach and break dance

Was really looking forward to seeing this show. The beginning started a bit slow, and wasn't sure if it would live up to my expectations. When the dancers started showing their impressive moves, it picked up from there. There seemed to be an interesting storyline, with exchanges between the woman showing ballet and the guys displaying their breakdancing moves. My friend and I were both excited and waiting for the woman to start 'breaking' and blow us all away, but unfortunately that didn't happen. That's the only slight negative, b/c it just seems like that would've made it amazing. Still, the show was very entertaining - great music, good pacing with awesome moves interspersed with slower themes/videography.
