On August 4, Dancewave’s top pre-professional company got a prestigious opportunity to perform at the beautiful Rockefeller estate at Pocantico Center in Tarrytown, New York. The Pocantico Center serves as a community center for programs, artist residencies and cultural events and provides performance space for artists selected by Rockefeller Brothers Fund grantees and NYC Arts organizations.
We are pleased to announce that Dancewave is a proud recipient of the Charles E. Culpeper Arts and Culture Grant from Rockefeller Brothers Fund this year. In lieu of this grant, this is the first time that a pre-professional company was invited to perform on this platform. The performance was attended by about 70-80 distinguished guests and was held against the beautiful backdrop of the estate. The talented teens from Dancewave company performed three entirely different works by Modern renowned artists: ‘Canvas’ by Larry Keigwin, ‘Wonderland’ by Andrea Miller and ‘Pavement’ by Kyle Abraham.

CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Dancewave’s new home at 182 4th Avenue is set to finish in 2017. NYC has allocated a total of 2.4 million for our Capital Project, but delays in city planning coupled with additional costs (including LEED) to complete the project’s scope leaves us a million short. Help us get there soon. DONATE NOW >>
