April, Love, Romeo & Juliet
Spring is the season of love and New York City is no exception. The blooming flowers at the Botanical Garden, the brunch on the Rooftop, everything screams Amore.
But nothing is more romantic than Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare 's play about Italy 's most famous lovers.
Directed and choreographed by Chiara Ajkun, this touching love story begins while disaster looms between the Montague and Capulet families in the beautiful Italian city Verona. No lack of nail-biting drama either. Tybalt’s assassination and raw emotions of a tragic ending make the event perfect for a date or friendly post show conversations.
The performances of Romeo & Juliet in April are part of the Face To Face Series, immersive shows making the audience feel part of the action and completed by complimentary photos with the cast. The summer Encore will be in the traditional Theater setting.

May, Holiday Fun, Tango Nights
Relationships are Complicated and Tango seems the best dance genre for it. From the vibrant París de sudamérica, Buenos Aires, to the posh Upper East Side of New York City, nothing is more entertaining than watching this show. Perfect for visitors and to avoid the Memorial Day weekend crowds.
The theater location for Tango Nights is next to some of the best restaurants and wine bars open late where to finish the night enjoying Argentinean Malbec or other drinks of choice.
Dance, dazzling lights and the spectacular dancers of the Ajkun Ballet Company perform one of the world's most popular shows playing this May.

The Protagonists of the Ajkun Ballet Company
Sometimes ballet can be dry steps and dull pantomime and therefore unappealing to a broad audience. Chiara Ajkun’s ballet appeals to just about everyone. The dancers are engaging, the show is adrenaline pumping, and the acting allows for an immersive experience of the story. No wonder her ballets are the Top Shows in NYC.
Juliet is portrayed by principal dancer Momoko Burbine hailing from Japan to the United States to join the Ajkun Ballet Company. Momoko has performed virtually all repertory ballets and toured with the Ajkun Company in Asia, Europe and South America. Her remarkable petite allegro and balance are staples of her performances.
Romeo is Klevis Tafaj, a powerful dancer with charismatic performance skills of Albanian origins. From the athletic grand pirouettes to the breathtaking jumps all the way to the incredible partnering skills, Klevis brought his art all over the world with Ajkun Ballet, in repertory ballets such as Don Quixote, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.

ABDURAH RAHMAN – DANCE WRITER
Hey there, I'm Abdurah Rahman from Afghanistan. Ballet has always been a passion of mine but pursuing it hasn't been easy in my part of the world. I immersed myself in countless YouTube videos, admiring performances from the Royal Ballet, American Ballet and Australian Ballet, and falling in love with dancers like Marianela Núñez and Maria Khoreva. Eventually, I moved to the United States of America in the great city of New York to pursue journalism. I finally had the opportunity to experience live ballet shows and discovered the Ajkun Ballet Theatre. I love ballet but not all ballets. While big companies have large promotional budgets, it doesn't always guarantee the best shows. The Ajkun Ballet Company, on the other hand, delivers exceptional performances that truly touch, excite and captivate the audience. Here you can find my take on their top shows in NYC. Enjoy!
