The New York Baroque Dance Co.

Thank you to those individuals who donated to our GiveGab campaign to help us close the gap between government funding and actual costs. We performed at the Esteban Salas Early Music Festival in Havana and taught a 3 day workshop at Acosta Danza.

From Carlos Acosta: “The joy with which the dancers have assumed your teachings will help us in our effort to create a company that embraces the whole dance, without distinction of epochs and styles, in search for a unique and beautiful result.”

With support from fundraising, tuition and the NEA Art Works, Millicent Hodson and Catherine Turocy conducted a summer workshop exploring Nijinsky’s notations for a sarabande to music of Bach. The exploration began in Seattle then continued at the NYU Center for Ballet and the Arts.
