A Virtual Contemporary Dance Festival, you don't want to miss!
WHITE WAVE presents our 5th Annual SoloDuo Dance Festival, featuring 29 national and international dancemakers, selected by a panel of distinguished presenters and dance artists in NYC.
Our program celebrates the unique art of creating Solos and Duets, a format often favored by early-stage choreographers as their company begins to find its path within the Dance world.
Our line-up this year includes the work of both nascent and seasoned artists. WHITE WAVE's mission is to act as a potent stimulus to expand the horizons of Dance by producing dance concerts, Festivals, residencies, and educational activities.
