Dance Works 2012 Fundraiser Showcase

Ticket sale proceeds for the 2012 Dance Works Fundraiser Showcase benefit Avon Foundation's Breast Cancer Crusade and their Domestic Violence Campaign. This production incorporates a wide variety of dance styles from ballet, hip hop, contemporary, modern, irish, tap, musical theatre, jazz and modern.  

Special guest performances will include Some Dance Company's Kimberly Gianelli, Katie Moorhead, Dorrie Garland and Laura DiOrio, who will dance a piece choreographed by the award-winning, David Fernandez, who has choreographed pieces for New York City Ballet, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Joffrey Ballet and others and has danced himself with Mikhail Baryshnikov.  Connecticut Ballet's Marcos Vediveto is presenting his new work entitled, Triumph.  Senior companies from many area dance schools are also performing including Danse Elite, City Center Dance, New Dance and Magical Movements. The Dance Works Kids Company will also perform.  We expect over 100 dancers (40 or so from Harrison) to come together for these great causes.

Tickets are $20 General Admission and will be available at the door.  Call (914) 714-2131 with questions.
