The DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL will kick off with an OPENING NIGHT GALA. followed by a 3-day dance extravaganza in marathon-like performances. All performances are open to the public and free of charge.

WAVE RISING SERIES (October 20 - November 7, 2010)
Launched in 2006, the WAVE RISING SERIES to further WHITE WAVE's commitment to find, nurture, and expand opportunities for extraordinarily gifted artists. The fifth annual WAVE RISING SERIES will present 20 dance companies, selected and tightly curated by Young Soon Kim and an eight-member selection panel including prominent figures from the dance world, will be showcased in full-length programs (30 minutes per company), plus an Opening Night GALA Benefit performance. The series is a perfect opportunity for choreographers who want to perform a New York season, but may not have the time or resources to produce a full event. WHITE WAVE is taking care of all of the production and PR for these independent choreographers and is well known for packing a full house into its John Ryan Theater. We strongly encourage outstanding artists to propose new works for this series, which will run for the three weeks.
