Dancers Unlimited

Celebrating The NYC Dance Community and honoring our diverse heritage, including AAPI and BIPOC Artists highlights

IATI Theater

Dancers Unlimited (DU) is kicking-off May with a week of community events that celebrate and embrace the dance community in New York City. The Spring CommUNITY week, May 1st – 6th, 2022 will be action-packed with donation-based workshops, dance battles, guest performances, and a sustainable fashion dance show at IATI Theater. As the dancers make their return to stage since the pandemic, Dancers Unlimited is proud to honor its roots in community service and engagement in both Hawaiʻi and New York to celebrate resilience, diversity, and creativity. The week features BIPOC dance-makers as a nod toward unity during AAPI Heritage Month. The highlighted events include a Hula workshop with Kumu ʻAuliʻi Aweau from Hawaiʻi, Dance Battles, A Sustainable Fashion Show, and guest performances that will feature dancers from Hawai’i and New York as well as students from the Bronx’s Nuasin Next Generation Charter School. All events are donation-based with partial funding support from the Women’s Sports Foundation in partnership with Athleta and Alicia Keys. The Spring CommUNITY Week will culminate with a Sustainable Fashion Show that will feature clothing from Hamlet’s Vintage. The show will spotlight a diverse cast of dancers as models and a storyline about cultural and environmental sustainability.
