2025/2026 Season
Join award-winning tap dance company Dorrance Dance for a brand new program that showcases the musicality and versatility of its “close-knit family” (Wall Street Journal) of dancer-musicians, featuring the Dorrance Dance choreographic debut of longtime company members Elizabeth Burke and Luke Hickey. A Swing Suite (2023) is inspired by the music that Burke and Hickey’s mentor, Gene Medler, exposed to them as kids, and how it shaped their taste and interest throughout their entire artistic lives. The work is an homage to Gene, and an offering around the idea that just about every road leads back to home.
Paired with Michelle Dorrance’s critically acclaimed SOUNDspace | REDUX (2013), an originally site-specifi c work that explored the unique acoustics of New York City’s St. Mark’s Church through the myriad sounds and textures of the feet, which has been adapted and continues to explore what is most beautiful and exceptional about tap dancing – movement as music. By supporting the development and touring of new works alongside company classics, Dorrance Dance continues “blasting our notions of tap dance” with every performance.
Youth tickets are available only through the box office.
