After years spent creating work for other companies, Andrea Miller is returning to the Joyce theater with GALLIM, where she serves as Artistic Director and Choreographer, with her first full-length world premiere since 2018.

As the world we live in gets increasingly more divided—socially, politically, economically—there is no more joyous occasion than coming together for a beautiful piece of art that leaves the collective room oohing and aahing.

“The most successful and influential choreographer alive, and indisputably the most musical” (New York Times). This is just one of many similar accolades Mark Morris has received throughout his illustrious 45+ year career.

There’s no greater feeling than joining a group of people coming together to support a common goal. Love, kindness, and unity were ever-present this past Monday June 2nd at Symphony Space, which hosted the first-ever “Grace to the Rescue” gala for Dance for Paws. Founded by global dance icon Sarah Lane, Dance for Paws is a new non-profit organization that raises awareness and support for animal shelters working to increase fostering and adoption.

With an incredible mix of all-star performances, the artists at the 2025 Chita Rivera Awards didn't need an invitation to shine.

Destiny Rising, an evening to benefit the NYC Dance Alliance Foundation, was held March 17th at the legendary Joyce Theater. As an annual event that celebrates the power of dance education and opportunity, the theater was filled with enthusiastic spirits and rapturous applause all evening long.

Argentinian-based dance group Grupo Cadabra made their New York premiere on February 18th at The Joyce Theater with the dazzling contemporary ballet, Anima Animal. Featuring ABT Principal Dancer Herman Cornejo, who reimagined this ballet from a century-old Nijinsky idea, the piece was a true exploration on the power of evolution: what does it mean to be part of a collective? And then, what does it mean when an individual defies the status quo to go their own way?

Herman Cornejo is a modern-day ballet legend. For over 25 years, he’s graced stages all across the world, known for his transformative gift of embodying each and every role, no matter how different. From Son in Prodigal Son, to Rose in Le Spectre de la Rose, to Albrecht in Giselle, Cornejo is a master class in ballet technique, equally commanding in both power and precision.

'Wonderland' was originally presented as a half-evening work in 2010, but this is the first time it will be seen by New York audiences in its full-length version.

It’s true what they say: everything old is new again. Ballets from a past time are reinvigorated and rejuvenated when today’s dancers take that form and breathe new life into it.

Ballet dancer, choreographer, author, pop star, content creator: James Whiteside does it all. Formerly with Boston Ballet, Whiteside was named Principal Dancer with American Ballet Theatre in 2013, and hasn’t slowed down since. A prolific standout in the company, synonymous with roles like Solor in La Bayadère and the Prince in Ashton’s Cinderella, Whiteside has become just as dazzling a choreographer, with exciting projects around every corner.

What did our critic think of ELEVATE at Kaye Playhouse? For the better part of a century, American Repertory Ballet (ARB) has been the preeminent ballet company of New Jersey. And on March 30th, the company was able to both celebrate this milestone, but also showcase their growing talents as an organization.

Ethan Stiefel and Gillian Murphy are two of the world’s greatest dancers of all time. A bold statement, yes—but one undeniably supported by their decades spent delighting audiences all over the world. Stiefel, singular for his excellence of classical technique and precision; Murphy, for her poetic resonance and bravura, the duo have each made names for themselves that will be long remembered in the history books.

Call it habit, anticipation, excitement. But on the night of February 13th, I arrived to The Joyce early because only Twyla Tharp can bring out the singular energy that was in the room. The air was crackling with enthusiasm, as audience goers bubbled and gushed about the evening ahead.

What did our critic think of CHERYLYN LAVAGNINO DANCE EXPLORES THE FRAGILITY OF EXISTENCE IN NEW PROGRAM at The Jack Crystal Theater?

World-renowned photographer Mark Mann threw an incredible party Monday night. Held at the historic Joyce Theater, Movement at the Still Point: An Evening of Dance celebrated Mann's new dance photography book with a night of enchanting performances. Ranging in styles from ballet to modern to Broadway to vogueing, it was a night that won't soon be forgotten.

Mark Mann has photographed everyone. Google his name, and you will find hundreds of famous people he has exquisitely captured through the lens of his camera. Actors. Musicians. Presidents. Literally everyone in the public consciousness. But perhaps his greatest undertaking was during the COVID-19 lockdown, when he could no longer work as he used to. “I thought I had this creative block,” he shares of the time. “But [really], what I did was taken away from me.” So, he turned to Loni Landon, a respected contemporary choreographer—and his sister-in-law—and the two joined forces to celebrate a group of artists who too had their craft taken away: dancers. And what was created? His new, fabulous coffee table book, Movement at the Still Point: An Ode to Dance.

Do you remember the first dance performance you ever saw? What did you feel? What moved you? That natural love for dance and movement served as inspiration for American Repertory Ballet’s program, Movin’ + Groovin’ on March 25th at the Kaye Playhouse. The first NYC performance under Artistic Director Ethan Stiefel, the company’s talent was featured in three original works by talented choreographers Ja’ Malik, Caili Quan, and Claire Davison.
