Inspiration is All Around Us

March is the biggest season for Dance in New York City. It’s exciting and inspiring. So, in spite of the “March in like a Lion and out like a lamb” weather, I love to go. Whether it’s the Paul Taylor Dance Company, AIley II, NYC Ballet, ABT, Dance Theater of Harlem, or, less famous companies like BalletNext, Sokolow Theater/Dance Ensemble or Pigeonwing Dance, there is something beautiful and inspiring for everyone.

 

Every company is featuring work of a new choreographer, a theme especially dear to our hearts at Brant Lake Dance Camp. We at BLDC know that inside every young dancer is a voice waiting to be heard. Our young choreographer course, Enchoreo, is a wonderful place for our young women to explore their creative voices. Some of their inspiration comes directly from their surroundings, a cool breeze through pine trees or a seed from a performance they saw back in March. It may have been a turn led by a shoulder at a Paul Taylor performance or an impeccable series of leaps at the NYC Ballet or a dip performed by Pigeonwing Dance or maybe it was the way that guy on the train took his seat. 

 

Inspiration is all around us. Especially, this month in the NYC dance scene. Go see some!
