Four dancers wearing tap shoes stand in a line on stage with their feet apart. They hold their hands at hip level with their arms slightly bent, palms facing the floor.

Three women wearing pointe shoes, gold tank tops and pants stand on a dimly lit stage with their feet apart and knees bent. Their arms are raised straight out to their sides, palms flexed away from their bodies.

Two dancers wear loose-fitting grey shirts and cream pants. One dancer is slightly closer to the camera than the other. Facing the side of the stage, the dancers leap up on one foot with their opposite arm raised, brushing their other foot behind them with a bent knee.

About New Victory Dance

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!

The Program

Max Pollak Group

Ser Humano

Genres: Tap, rumba and body percussion

Inspired by immigrants and refugees leaving their homes in search of a better life, Ser Humano is a pledge of acceptance and inclusion featuring live music in the rhythmic styles of Mexican folklore and Afro-Cuban son.

Thresh Dance

Speaking in Pointe

Genres: Ballet and Bharatanatyam

Bringing together two worlds of dance, Speaking in Pointe is an exploration of the relationship between ballerinas and their shoes. Married with the rhythmic foot techniques of Indian classical dance, normally silent pointe shoes conjure percussive music.

POWER (Excerpt)

Genre: Postmodern

POWER considers how the Black Shaker communities in the early 1800s might have lived and worshipped. The piece examines Shaker values, contributions, practices and history through a postmodern American lens.
