NYC Dance Companies to Pay Tribute to Victims in Orlando With Free Performance on June 19

Multiple NYC dance companies will come together to pay tribute to the victims of the tragic shooting in Orlando, Florida. They will share pieces that are relevant to the grief and anger we all feel, and stand in solidarity with all victims of gun violence and the LGBTQ community. The power of art to bring people together and express grief, disbelief and potentially even an ounce of hope in such tragic times is monumental.

This will be free and open to the public. Information will be distributed about how to support the families of victims. Please come early if you can; seats are not guaranteed and will be given out until the space is full.

THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 19th, 7:30pm
