ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Gallim Dance is a fast-growing, non-profit contemporary dance company based in New York City, founded in 2007 by choreographer and Artistic Director Andrea Miller. Miller’s award-winning work embodies fearless physicality, grounded by deep humanity and expressed through the madness and joy of the imagination.

Gallim Dance quickly caught the attention of the dance community, and Miller’s work has been acclaimed by The New York Times as “voluptuously polyglot choreography.” In 2013, Gallim Dance will perform in the inaugural season of the new BAM Fisher Theater, open the 2013-2014 Guggenheim Works & Process season, premiere a new evening-length work at Montclair Peak Performances Series, and tour to Connecticut, New Jersey, Georgia, California, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Austria, Germany, and France.
