WHITE WAVE presents its 10th Annual DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL, a three-day showcase of innovative contemporary dance featuring both emerging and established dancemakers. This year’s Festival presents 87 companies with 450 performing artists from throughout the US, Europe and Asia. The 2010 DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL runs in tandem with the DUMBO Arts Festival, which transforms our distinctive waterfront neighborhood into the single largest urban forum for experimental art in the United States. For the first time, the DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL will include a series of site-specific works along the DUMBO waterfront. Designed to be interdisciplinary, these pieces are collaborations between choreographers, composers, live musicians, film and video artists as well as fashion/costume designers.

All Festival performances are free; Gala Benefit tickets are $100 and up. To purchase Gala tickets, call Smarttix at 212-868-4444 or visit www.smarttix.com. For more information on the festival, contact www.whitewavedance.com or 718-855-8822.
