About WHITE WAVE Dance Company

Our mission is to be a potent stimulus for change and expansion of the dance/arts world through the creation of new dance works, the production of dance concerts, and education through dance classes.

WHITE WAVE fulfills our mission through the following activities:

• THE COMPANY: For more than two decades, WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company has appeared on principal stages across the U.S. and the Far East. Our New York City season consists of full-scale performances of both new works and repertory by Ms. Kim. The company also produces showcases, classes and workshops.

• FESTIVALS PROJECT: Since 2001, the Project has been a vital component of New York’s contemporary dance scene. Our productions provide both emerging and established choreographers/companies with a venue located in the dance capital of the world where they can congregate, create, rehearse and present new dance works.

• REHEARSAL/PERFORMANCE SPACE: WHITE WAVE’S John Ryan Theater, a 120-person capacity, 3000 square-foot dance studio/theater, offers public programming and serves as a resource to New York’s dance community: companies and performers can rent our space for rehearsals and performances at a deeply discounted rate.

• EDUCATION: WHITE WAVE provides a wide range of dance education opportunities to both professional and recreational dancers, as well as to children just discovering the joy of dance.
