{ Dd } Short Short List: 3/7 – 3/13

 In Archives

After last week’s lean into experimental performance, get back to your roots this week with modern dance pioneers and a dance form older than jazz music…shows in NYC and ATL.

1. Dorrance Dance at Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech curator Madison Cario has been bringing an exciting array of international artists to Atlanta this season. (See my previous reviews of Huang Yi & KUKA and Bronx Gothic.) It continues this week with 2015 MacArthur Genius Grant recipient Michelle Dorrance‘s tap company, Dorrance Dance, performing In Concert. Known for her genre-pushing style, this evening brings the best of America’s oldest dance form and a visionary new voice together.
