Swing into summer with New Victory Dance, the annual mini-festival of NYC dance curated specifically for kids! MCed by New Victory Teaching Artists, each program showcases a diverse lineup of acclaimed NYC-based dance companies—three per program, nine in total—and features a choreographer Talk-Back with a chance to dance from your seat. It’s your family date with dance!
Genre: Tap
Choreographed by Dorrance Dance company members Elizabeth Burke and Luke Hickey, A Swing Suite is inspired by the music their mentor, Gene Medler, shared with them as kids and shaped them as artists—a reminder that just about every road leads back to home.
Genres: Chinese traditional and hip-hop
Lion in the City is inspired by the lion dance, one of the most popular dances performed during Chinese New Year celebrations. Symbolizing a prayer for peace, this version of the dance, choreographed by PeiJu Chien-Pott, Kwikstep and Rokefella, fuses traditional movement with hip-hop.
Genre: Contemporary
The name Nia in Swahili means “purpose.” Blending traditional dances from Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire, Serving Nia invites us to think about our individual sense of purpose and responsibility.
Get to know the companies performing in New Victory Dance: Program A.
Dorrance Dance Productions was founded in 2011 as a tap dance company, passionately committed to sharing the complex history, powerful legacy and infinite possibilities of tap dance on a musical, conceptual and emotional level. After 15 years of being the world’s most lauded tap dance company, Dorrance Dance’s mission has expanded. As a producing entity, the organization seeks after work that continues to contextualize tap dance’s history and its diaspora in a culturally significant way.
Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company is a leading force in creating innovative cultural experiences that capture the hope, resilience and energy of the immigrant journey—its struggles, triumphs, challenges and joys. Through its productions, the company fosters cross-cultural understanding while addressing important themes of identity, authenticity and equality.
Founded in 1985 and based in Brooklyn, Ronald K. Brown / EVIDENCE, A Dance Company seeks to promote understanding of the human condition through the dances and storytelling of the African Diaspora, and to provide sensory connections to history and tradition through music, movement and spoken word.
