As a part of our continued mission to find up-and-coming choreographic talent at the international level, the Dance Gallery Festival is proud to continue our latest addition to our festival activities Level UP. Level UP serves as a performance showcase for three talented dance companies/choreographers that are ready to advance to the next level in the development and promotion of their work. Each company will receive 25 minutes of performance time at the prestigious Ailey Citigroup Theater and a Commission Fee. Last years choreographers  were: Gabrielle Lamb, Manuel Vignoulle and Joshua L.Peugh. All three choreographers have gotten new commissions after the Festival and Joshua L. Peugh was picked as one of 25 to Watch by Dance Magazine.

In response to the high volume of solo, duet and trio submissions that the Dance Gallery Festival receives every year, we added a NEW evening in 2013 to the NYC festival specifically designed to showcase intimate works with a smaller cast. This showcase, entitled Dance Gallery UP Close will present fully produced solos, duets and trios of the highest quality.

Festival Dates: September 25th-27th, NYC and October 1st-3rd, TX
