Dance Lab New York is the only independent organization exclusively dedicated to promoting and advancing the art form of choreography by gifting vital resources to a diverse range of dancemakers.
In order to create, a choreographer needs dancers, space, and time—three essential elements that are prohibitively expensive.
DLNY is an artist-centered, artist-led organization designed to alleviate the substantial fiscal and administrative burdens that stifle creativity for dancemakers. Our residencies provide dancemakers with a salary, a company of professional dancers, expansive studio space, a rehearsal director, key administrative support, and structured time for incubation.
By focusing on process over product, DLNY provides an oasis where choreographers can feel safe to take the risks that bring forth their boldest visions.
Our creative residencies provide choreographers with a salary, a company of professional dancers, expansive studio space, a rehearsal director, key administrative support, digital assets, and structured time for incubation free from the pressure to produce finished product.
When dancemakers are empowered to tell their own stories, we create a more inclusive culture. For over a decade DLNY has provided support to 150+ dancemakers, enabling them to bring forth their boldest visions.
We are proud that works incubated in our Labs have gone on to be produced or presented at prestigious venues and organizations such as 92NY, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ariel Rivka Dance, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Disney+, The Fifth Avenue Theatre, Guthrie Theatre, The Muny, New York City Center, Paul Taylor Dance Company, and more.
Dance Lab Studios embodies DLNY’s non-profit mission to support the dancemaking community, and serves to encourage professional choreographers, dancers, and movement artists to create and connect. Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan at 307 West 38th Street, Dance Lab Studios features a stunning double-height, 79’ x 35’ studio with a sprung floor that can be divided into two large spaces.
