Woven in Silver – Jumalīte’s NYC Folk Dance Debut
Company:
Jumalīte Latvian Folk Dance Ensemble
Jumalīte, New York’s Latvian folk dance ensemble, brings centuries of Baltic tradition to life in Woven in Silver, a one-night-only concert that weaves together history, rhythm, and joy. With 13 original dances performed in vibrant folk costumes, the show channels the energy of a culture shaped by occupation, resilience, and song.
Set inside the landmark El Teatro at El Museo del Barrio, home to Broadway tryouts and GRAMMY tributes, Woven in Silver showcases choreography passed down through generations, reimagined by a company of dancers ranging from recent immigrants to second-generation Latvians.
With pounding boots, interlocking patterns, and high-flying partner work, this is not your average night at the theater. The concert captures a living cultural tradition rooted in defiance and delight, making it a must-see for anyone curious about folk dance, Eastern Europe, or what it looks like when New York meets Riga in a whirl of sound and movement.
Join us at El Teatro, 1230 Fifth Avenue at 104th Street in Manhattan.
