HIPS at Ailey Citigroup Theater

CLYMOVE’s second annual dance gala, on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at Ailey Citigroup Theater, will honor dance legend Sarita Allen. She will be presented the Elisa Monte Leadership Legacy Award, which was established and awarded to its namesake at last year’s inaugural gala. To honor Sarita Allen, Elisa Monte has permitted the company to perform her work “Pigs and Fishes” which was originally choreographed on Sarita Allen in 1982 and has not been performed in NYC in a decade. The performance will also include two world premieres, the first choreographed by Founder and Artistic Director Clymene Aldinger, to original music by DJ Kurt Rambus, and the second by company dancer and CLYMOVE’s first commissioned choreographer, JoVonna Parks.

CLYMOVE Dance, Inc., led by Founding Artistic Director Clymene Aldinger was formed with a commitment to virtuosic dance focused on truth and inclusive creative community. The company’s mission is to create message-driven art, movement, and performance.
