Dancing in the Streets, based in the South Bronx, develops movement-based projects through long term initiatives, integrating rigorous inquiry, artistic exploration, deep community engagement, and the nurturing of urban artists. Our three main areas of activity: Resident Artists - based in communities, to nurture individual creativity, and build bridges across generations, communities, and cultures. The Incubator - supporting and developing new generations of artists in dance and social practice. It's Showtime NYC! - nurturing emerging urban dance artists, and advocating the value, and importance of Hip Hop culture in NYC, nationally and internationally.
Founded in 1984, Dancing in the Streets has produced and presented over 500 free public performances by over 300 contemporary artists, including site-specific productions at spectacular urban sites by Meredith Monk, Ann Carlson, Douglas Dunn, Eiko & Koma, Joanna Haigood, Steve Koplowitz, Tere O’Connor, Elizabeth Streb, Reggie Wilson, and Yasuko Yakoshi.
In its early years, Dancing in the Streets fostered site-specific work as a public art form across New York City, the U.S. and internationally. Since 2001, Dancing in the Streets has been an urban pioneer, producing dance performances in unknown sites throughout the NYC metropolitan area, including the massive Port Authority Grain Terminal in Red Hook, the Tobacco Warehouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Fort Jay on Governor’s Island, Hangar B at Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field, and in the streets of the South Bronx.
