basses loaded, three to one, soundspace

Join the decade’s most celebrated tap dance company Dorrance Dance for an ELECTRIC offering of tap dance and live music! This brand new program features the “glorious” Basses Loaded (2019) performed by four bassists and four tap dancers (with choreography for all); the Bessie Award-winning Three to One (2011), danced to contemporary artists Aphex Twin and Thom Yorke of Radiohead; and Dorrance’s most critically acclaimed SOUNDspace (2013), celebrating the very thing that makes tap dance so special – that it is, at once, movement and music.

*Basses Loaded has been commissioned by New York City Center. Support for new dance works at City Center is provided by the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation and Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.

*The creation of Three to One was made possible, in part, by the Danspace Project 2010-2011 Commissioning Initiative with support from the Jerome Foundation. Danspace’s Commissioning Initiative is a core component of the Choreographic Center Without Walls (CW²).

*The creation of SOUNDspace was made possible, in part, by the Danspace Project 2012-2013 Commissioning Initiative, with support from the New York State Council on the Arts. As part of Danspace Project’s Choreographic Center Without Walls, Dorrance received a production residency supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
