DancingintheSts

Dancing in the Streets strives to illuminate the urban experience with free public performances and site-specific installations that examine the kinetic life and history of natural and architectural public spaces.  Its productions explore the intersection of the arts and the city, strengthen community life through active engagement with the arts, diversify audiences, and serve as catalysts for the celebration of urban life.

Dancing produces an average of two--three projects a year, ranging from intimate, one-day performances to large-scale, site-specific productions. Its current signature series are: Hip Hop Generation Next -- a block party in Red Hook that celebrates and explores hip hop dance as a significant urban art form that was spawned in New York City streets; and BREAKING GROUND -- A Dance Charrette -- site-specific dance commissioned for compelling historic sites in transition.
