ABOUT DANCENOW STEELSTACKS

In 2011, DANCENOW entered a new partnership with ArtsQuest, a non-profit in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania that celebrates the arts and culture.  Joining forces with this like-minded arts organization, that shares DANCENOW’s vision of defying the norm and seeking out the unconventional, DANCENOW SteelStacks™ is bringing some of New York City’s most exciting dance innovators to the new Performing Arts Center at SteelStacks. 

DANCENOW SteelStacks kicked off with a bang on June 10, 2011, presenting David Parker’s and The Bang Group’s ShowDown in the new MusikFest Café – the Joe’s Pub of Lehigh Valley.

In September 2011, DANCENOW SteelStacks launched FREE FRIDAYS in the CREATIVITY COMMONS to introduce DANCENOW'S diverse roster of dance innovators to Lehigh Valley in an informal meet the artist series. In 2011 FREE FRIDAYS featured work by Cleo Mack Dances, Deborah Lohse, Nicholas Leichter and Ellis Wood.

On December 7th, DANCENOW SteelStacks presented David Parker and The Bang Group's NUT/CRACKED, inaugurating this unconventional version the holiday classic in little town Christmas town of Bethlehem.

We are very excited about this new program which will introduce DANCENOW’s exciting and highly talented roster of artist to the communities of Bucks County’s, greatly expanding their visibility and advancing their career opportunities.

"LEVYdance has the appeal of youth: fresh-faced, chiseled dancers with the urban cool of club kids, sexiness infused with smarts and a young choreographer, Benjamin Levy, worth getting excited about." - San Francisco Chronicle, 2007

Dance Theater Workshop

Camille A. Brown

“Watching Camille A. Brown dance in person for the first time is like observing a hummingbird in nature for the first time...What is striking is that this rising star of New York City's hip downtown scene is somewhat old-fashioned: Brown is a storyteller, with many tales to tell...Brown has gathered a company of earthy movers, deft at giving her dances the physical weight needed to carry serious themes..." -The Boston Globe

 

Fri, April 20 from 7 to 7:30pm 

Adam Barruch [DANCENOW’s 2011 Festival Challenge Winner]

"The standout of the night by far was the work of Adam Barruch.  Raised on the Broadway stage and a graduate of LaGuardia High School, Barruch is a choreographer that New Yorkers should be on the look out for.  Part Fosse, part Hip Hop with a bit of those Hand Dancers from the McDonald’s Commercials (you totally know who I’m talking about), Barruch’s work was exciting, thoughtful and told a clear story.
