Uptown Rhythm Dance Festival

Harkness Dance Center's Alison Manning curates a weeklong festival of rhythmic dance that patrols many different beats—including tap, flamenco, hip hop, Kathak Indian dance, Irish step dance, street dance and Appalachian flatfooting—and investigates connections between them. The schedule includes four live programs at 92Y: Jake Blount, Nic Gareiss and Rachna Nivas (Apr 22); Derick Grant, Nicholas Young, ChryBaby Cozie, Ladies of Hip-Hop and Wondertwins (Apr 23); Max Pollak Group with Los Muñequitos de Matanzas (Apr 24); and Soles of Duende and LaTasha Barnes (Apr 24, streamed online on Apr 25). These evenings are bookended by events at the rotunda of Guggenheim Museum: an opening night swing party with Danny Jonokuchi & the Revisionists and Gaby Cook (Apr 21) and a closing Works & Process performance by Brenda Bufalino & Company (Apr 26 at 3pm and 7pm). Along the way, the festival also offers five afternoon workshops at 92Y, El Barrio’s Artspace PS109and the Museum of the City of New York. Find out more at the festival website.
