WHITE WAVE presents its 11th Annual DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL, a three-day showcase of innovative contemporary dance featuring both emerging and established dancemakers. This year’s Festival presents 113 companies with 400 performing artists from throughout the United States, Canada, Japan and Korea. The 2011 DUMBO DANCE FESTIVAL runs in tandem with the DUMBO Arts Festival, which transforms our distinctive waterfront neighborhood into the single largest urban forum for experimental art in the United States.
