Dance

Take the chill out of winter with the Trocks, who will be performining at the Joyce Theater through January 6th. The all-male troupe whose brilliant pointe work and hilarious parodying produce paroxysms of giggles and wild applause throughout the world.

The American Tap Dance Foundation (ATDF) is a nonprofit organization committed to establishing and legitimizing Tap Dance as a vital component of American Dance through creation, presentation, education and preservation. And as they always say, If you can walk, you can tap dance! This week they are offering sample classes, running September 13th, 15th and 16th.  It's made for all ages, from 3 to 65, so no excuses!  We'll see you there.

The Nutcracker in a nutshell has always been snippets of memories of wooden toys and sugarplum fairies. I’m sure I’ll remember the Nutcracker: Rated R in very much the same way… except replace wooden toys with dildos and sugarplum fairies with “blow-fairies.” Ah, how we’ve evolved. If you love the ballet and are prepared for your new Nutcracker snippets to include the best of 1980’s punk, clouds of cocaine, pervert uncles, and oh yes, Firecrotch then this is the production for you!

Nutcracker krumping, rats and popping soldiers, crooked hats, and The Nutcracker, re-imagined by the Urban Ballet Theater. Abrons hosts Nutcracker in the Lower for its 10th-anniversary year, establishing a cultural tradition that is as diverse as it is relevant. Opening November 26th.
