Complexions Contemporary Ballet: Stardust, From Bach to Bowie. You might have heard of this ballet company’s dancers from So You Think You Can Dance or, if you’re into the world of dance companies, because it was founded by former members of Alvin Ailey, Desmond Richardson and Dwight Rhoden. In this tribute to David Bowie, a crew of dancers exuding equal parts talent, charisma and sexual energy dance styles ranging from ballet to hip hop. As the title suggests, the program is set to a wide range of music, all of which encapsulate the world of glitter and glam that Bowie was so much a part of. It’s the type of thing you’ll enjoy if you love technically excellent dancing, but also the type of thing you’ll enjoy if you love music, excitement, sparkles or any fun at all. 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 27. Centennial Hall, 1020 E. University Blvd. $19 to $80+. Details here.
