DanceHouse, a curated performance of both local and non-local choreographers will be on Sunday at 4 and 7pm. So excited. (wait until you see Daniele's publicity pics!!!)

The Line up is finally done!! Big announcement to come!

Just wanted to say our condolences on the Jeanne Ruddy Company closing news. The company will be missed by everyone in the dance community. And we are especially sad for all the Ruddy dancers, losing a company is really tough news. All our love. nEW.

Question for you. What makes you want to see a performance? Old school post cards? Posters? Email blasts?? Facebook invites? Let us know!

Showings last night were amazing! Interesting mix of ideas and genres. The big question is who will be sharing the evenings??

Tonight is the night! First showings of our artists! Really looking forward to it!

had our first tech meeting at the Bride this past week. The performance is seriously creeping up! Hope our artists are in rehearsal!!

nEW Fedstival Community Class rap up....15 classes, 15 very diverse teachers. 80 dancers attended. 235 sign ins. Pretty damn impressive. It's amazing actually. Thanks to UofArts dance dept., all the volunteer teachers, and of course Ms. Mazarick for organizing the whole damn thing. We would love feedback. Please post or email any of us! [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected] Thanks all

Tomorrow at nEW Kendra Portier the real: kendra loves dance. loves to dance. heartbreakingly. movement is integral. its the way we first learn. unspoken language. secret codifications. secret agreements. without a common tongue, the skin, the pupils, the heart: speaking on their own. make things. do things. see things. listen.

Reminder all! For Monday's class with Duane Holland please bring sneakers! (and make sure they're clean!)

Wednesdays class is with Meg Foley. You know Meg right?? Cute as a button?? Slightly sassy?? Come on out at 10 am at 1401 Walnut Street! (enter on Walnut!!) Would love to see you
