Join us for Shindig: a social gathering with dance on September 6 and 7 at Brooklyn Art Haus. The event begins at 7pm with art galleries, music, community, and aperitivo. The dance performance will follow at 8pm. Tickets HERE!

Witness the world premiere of La Tarantella, an evening-length work by Director Michaella Barron. Set to a new original score by Quinton Nennig, this captivating performance explores the themes of Italian heritage and feminine strength, reimagining the classic southern Italian folktale through a contemporary lens. Audiences will experience a powerful narrative that delves into the emotional journey of women navigating a repressive patriarchal society. La Tarantella features five NYC-based dancers (Gabrielle DiNizo, Maddy Hall, Abby Nguyen, Micah McKee, and Araya Morris).

Engage with Art and Community: Beyond the performance, Shindig offers a visual art gallery showcasing local talent, a live DJ, and an exciting raffle with high-ticket prizes. Meet us where you are at Shindig for an unforgettable evening of dance, art, and people.
