2024SoloDuo Dance Festival

WHITE WAVE DANCE presents the 8th Annual SoloDuo Dance Festival on Thursday, February 8^th, 2024 at 7:30pm and Friday, February 9^th, 2024 at 7:00pm & 9:00pm at Dixon Place, 161A Chrystie St., New York, NY. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and $20 for students and seniors for each program, and $60 for all three programs.

The Festival will feature 30 dancemakers from the New York Metro area and from across the country, and from Korea, Japan and Germany selected by a panel of distinguished presenters and dance artists. WHITE WAVE’s Artistic Director Young Soon Kim founded the SoloDuo Dance Festival in 2016.

The program celebrates the unique art of the solo and duet—formats often favored by early-stage choreographers as their companies begin to find their paths within the dance world. The Festival creates new opportunities to display the latest work of both emerging and mid-career choreographers, offering vivid experiences for audiences with the goal of discovering and nurturing young talent. Dixon Place exemplifies a one of-a kind intimate venue that is particularly well-suited to showcase the artistry of solo and duet performances.

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. WHITE WAVE provides dancemakers an opportunity to congregate, create, and present new works on prestigious stages to the discerning NYC audience.
