OntheFloor : New York City Events Calendar

OntheFloor
Jun 1 9:00PM // Liberty Hall
OntheFloor is a live dance experience — the pilot project of The Dance Cartel, it's a fusion of the company's rigorous artistic approach with the vibrant social nature of dance. The Dance Cartel's repertory is supported by live musicians, video and DJ.
Choreographer Ani Taj Niemann draws on rhythmic influences from her research in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. Points of departure include body rhythms like breathing or a heartbeat, to rhythms in speech and gesture, to the crucial place of rhythm in music itself - from the baterias of Carnaval to the 808 in your favorite house and hip hop beats.
Doors at 8:30, show at 9. Full bar and bar menu by The Breslin — 21+. Admission is $20 and tickets are available here. Read a review here.
