On Thursday, June 27th, WHITE WAVE Dance celebrates our 23rd Anniversary season of the DUMBO Dance Festival with a GALA Opening that heralds the most anticipated four-day festival of contemporary dance in the greater New York City region.

The highlight of the DUMBO Dance Festival is the Gala Opening, where our Friends and Supporters gather together with international artists and the extraordinary members of our own WHITE WAVE team to celebrate the occasion with gourmet food, great wines, music, and dance.

WHITE WAVE Dance is proud to honor Joan Finkelstein and John Ryan!

Joan Finkelstein, with deep appreciation for her tireless support of the Art of Dance in all of its many dazzling forms, especially through her work at the amazing Harkness Foundation for Dance, we salute Joan's tireless dedication to the creative future and development of Dance.

John Ryan, by championing Ms. Kim’s artistic vision through his vital philanthropic support, enables WHITE WAVE Dance to continuously find, nurture and present thousands of emerging and eminent artists.

Opening remarks will be followed by five stunning contemporary dance troupes: Buglisi Dance Theatre, Yoshiko Chuma & The School Of Hard Knocks, ZviDance, Company | E, and WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company.

After the performances, the audience can enjoy an open bar, food, and music to feed the soul, as well as a fabulous raffle including gourmet wine baskets, “Dinner for Two” at local DUMBO eateries, and much more!
