Dance Now NYC

Dance Now celebrates its 20th season with a massive festival of short works by 50 dance makers of every stripe, many of them Dance Now veterans and all challenged to create a five-minute-long "choreographic gem" for the teeny stage at Joe's Pub. The very long lineup is a who's who and a who-will-be: Raja Feather Kelly and Aszure Barton appear Sept 9, Lawrence Goldhuber and Heidi Latsky show their stuff Sept 10 Larry Keigwin and Nicole Wolcott host a splashy evening on Sept 11, and Banana Peel Dance slips in on Sept 12. On Sept 24, in a special encore performance, the best of the fest (chosen by the producers) return and perform alongside the great Brian Brooks and Nicholas Leichter.
