“Josh Prince has created a critical platform — a safe space to rise and fall without the pressure of having to produce a finished, competitive product. Dance Lab New York is a celebration of process.”

“I would recommend Dance Lab New York to anyone who's trying to choreograph. You get some of the most talented dancers in the city and all the resources are there. Really the full package for a choreographer.”

“It was an honoring of someone who's a creator who needs space, time, and dancers. I extracted what we worked on and put it on the Ailey company dancers — no changes. Everything I was able to do went on stage. That was the biggest blessing.”

“Dance Lab is one of the very few artistic institutions in New York that's offering genuine opportunity because it's not stemming from product, stemming from offering, and it's stemming from opportunity.”

"Dance Lab New York is a gift. It's a gift to choreographers. It's a gift to create. There's nothing like it — where you are given a beautiful space and exceptional dancers to create anything you want."

“Dance Lab New York is the opportunity for creation, for development, and for artists to meet like-minded artists and to make something fresh and brand new.”
