Help WHITE WAVE Cresting in 2019!

Dear Friends of WHITE WAVE!

We at WHITE WAVE are extremely proud of the roaring success of our 2018 SoloDuo Festival, and grateful for your support!

WHITE WAVE is elated over the immense success of our recent 2018 SoloDuo Festival at Dixon Place! We showcased 27 extraordinary Dancemakers and their Companies from the US and abroad, selected by jury through a highly competitive process, to perform on the New York stage. While we did present a number of seasoned Companies, the majority of our line-up were promising relative newcomers to the Dance scene.

Over two days we presented three sold-out performances focusing on the unique role that solos and duets play throughout the world of Dance, in classical Ballet as well as all forms of modern work. Besides functioning as a stand-alone work, a solo or duet is often the backbone of a full-evening work with a larger cast, concisely distilling out the themes and motifs essential to the entire work. Owing to smaller budgets, many emerging choreographers begin their career producing solos and duets.

Your support is crucial to the creative process. Whether you are a fan of a particular company, or friends and family of the performers, all of the Companies are encouraged by an enthusiastic response from the crowd. Your financial support, small or large, is indispensable to continue our work during this era of receding governmental funding.

We invite you to share a video sampling our Festival, as well as interviews with some enthusiastic audience members. Until the 2019 SoloDuo Festival, we hope you will attend some of the many Festivals we produce, in addition to award-winning productions of WHITE WAVE's original dance work with commissioned new music.

With Love and Gratitude,

Young Soon Kim
and WHITE WAVE Team!



Help Keep WHITE WAVE Cresting in 2018!


For the past 30 years, WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company has been New York's premier institution dedicated to the future of dance in all its dazzling forms. WHITE WAVE's mission is to seek, nurture, and broaden the horizons of those rising dance makers who show the most promise to create innovative and lasting contributions to the future of dance.

WHITE WAVE Dance’s Canadian Première of "iyouuswe" at the 2018 Vancouver International Dance Festival was a resounding success!

The Georgia Straight's Gail Johnson raved that "This beautifully crafted piece...present[s] moments of subtle tension, but it pulses most profoundly with harmony." “In duets, trios, and other ever-shifting configurations, things unfurl organically; there’s a natural, poetic rhythm here that hums beneath, as if to imply things are unfolding as they should—whether it’s within a couple or the universe itself.”

In addition to that, we are committed to presenting the work of smaller companies, from the United States and abroad, who are too small to produce evening-length works in New York, the world's dance capital. Through our three annual Festivals, SoloDuo Festival in spring, Wave Rising Series in early summer, and the DUMBO Dance Festival in fall, we provide the opportunity to smaller companies, both established and cutting-edge, from around the world, to present their work on a state-of-the-art New York stage. Further, these younger companies and choreographers gain the crucial experience they need to effectively organize and promote first-class shows in their home locations.

WHITE WAVE is deeply indebted to the amazing support that you have provided through the years. Every tax- deductible dollar you donate provides a moment that will leave a young dancer with a memory for a lifetime. You will open new doors to allow a young emerging choreographer to reach their goals.

Your help is an investment in experience; the reward for your generosity will be sharing our vision to inspire.

Your gift of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 will make all the difference to

• Help create new works and captivating performances by the world-class WHITE WAVE Young Soon Kim Dance Company
