WHITE WAVE DANCE to Present THE 2023 DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL at Mark Morris Dance Center Next Month

On Thursday, June 22nd, WHITE WAVE Dance will celebrate their 22nd Anniversary season of the DUMBO Dance Festival with a GALA Opening that heralds the most anticipated four-day festival of contemporary dance in the greater New York City region.

Committed to developing dance as an important art form, WHITE WAVE scours the globe in search of the most innovative of today's dance makers, both emerging and established, and brings them to Brooklyn for one extended weekend. For four nights and three days, dance lovers will experience a veritable cornucopia of the best of contemporary dance.

2023 DDF is committed to advancing the best of dance by providing on-stage and behind-the-scenes opportunities for 55 dance troupes combining over 300 artists who will present solo, chamber, and full-scale works.

Performing artists from across the United States, and internationally from Italy, Germany, Japan and South Korea will join the New York's active dance community to offer the full range of new directions in dance in the 21st century.
