CoolNY Dance Festival
Post-Sandy Unveiling on the 10th Anniversary
CoolNY Dance Festival, originating in 2004 as a component of Cool New York, the City’s winter celebration of arts and parks events, honors its milestone 10th Anniversary CoolNY 2013 Dance Festival this January 30th - February 10th. Curated by Young Soon Kim, Artistic Director of WHITE WAVE, CoolNY 2013 kicks off with an OPENING NIGHT BENEFIT to commemorate another outstanding season and the company’s remarkable resilience. WHITE WAVE will proudly unveil its newly renovated space, hit hard by the storm, now transformed – with a basement doubled in size, a new classroom and dressing room, and greater office and storage facilities.
This two-week extravaganza will present the vast spectrum of facility by burgeoning ensembles led by inventive rising choreographers along with dancemakers with a definitive national and international zeal. CoolNY will feature two Saturday matinees dedicated to kids and families to provide an entertaining and educational experience for everyone. With the exception of Opening Night, The CoolNY 2013 Dance Festival is FREE and contributions are greatly appreciated in order to continue festival presentations.
