This summer marks the 4th season of the Solar-Powered Dance Series in Stuyvesant Cove Park. This free event will span two weekends, (July 24th - 26th & July 31st – Aug 2nd) and will feature new works from thirteen emerging choreographers. The outdoor Solar 1 performance stage is located at the northern edge of Stuyvesant Cove at E. 23rd and the East River, adjacent to its green energy arts & education center.

The Solar-Powered Dance Series will feature programs by choreographers from an eclectic mix of emerging dance companies that work in a variety of styles, ranging from circus to post-modern to urban contemporary. This juried selection features dance that is theatrical, energetic and suitable for all ages.

Sara Joel, Daniela Hoff Dance Company, Sarah Council Dance Projects, Jamal Jackson Dance Company, alexanDance, the Tattooed Ballerinas

Over the past few seasons, Solar 1 has steadily worked to establish Stuyvesant Cove as a creative center for green performance in New York. With the Solar-Powered Dance Series, solar electricity generated onsite at Solar 1 powers the audio components of the programs. Our recycled stage, located at the water’s edge, provides the perfect setting for these early evening performances
