The Egg in Albany, NY is offering dance performances this year! I was afraid that there wouldn’t be any given the economic situation of New York State. It does seem like there are fewer performances than usual, but we’ll take it.

I’m not sure what I think of the line-up, though. It’s very different from what The Egg usually has. They are featuring contemporary choreographers who mix it up with live music, videography, spoken word, and performance art.  Maybe this is a way of trying to reach out to a broader audience.

Here’s what’s scheduled:

Sunday, 10/16/11, 7pm	Millicent Johnnie & Dancers	Symphony for the Dance Floor
Friday, 10/21/11, 8pm	Monica Bill Barnes & Company	Everything is Getting Better All the Time
Friday, 11/4/11, 8pm	Roxanne Butterfly Worldbeat Ensemble	The Tap Experience
Thursday, 11/10/11, 8pm	Companiia Flamenca Jose Porcel	Gypsy Fire
Friday, 1/20/12, 8pm	Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company	20th Year Celebration
