ABOUT THE SHOW
Dorrance Dance honors tap dance’s unique and powerful history in a new and dynamic context by upholding its tradition while simultaneously pushing it rhythmically, technically and conceptually. Artistic Director and 2015 MacArthur “Genius” Fellow Michelle Dorrance’s
Myelination premiered at New York City Center’s 2015 Fall for Dance Festival. Gia Kourlas of
The New York Times responded: “Ms Dorrance has choreographed a glittering closer that needs to have a second life… please, someone, make that happen.” Join Dorrance Dance for the new, fully extended version of
Myelination with original live music. In addition to this new work, the rarely-seen, Bessie Award-winning
Three to One, and revival of the whimsical
Jungle Blues complete the program, illustrating the great range for which the company is known.
