Founded in 2016 by WHITE WAVE’s Artistic Director Young Soon Kim, the SoloDuo Dance Festival showcases 34 exceptional dancemakers from the New York Metro area, across the United States, and around the world—including artists from China, Israel, Korea, Mexico, and Poland. Participating artists were selected by a distinguished panel of presenters and dance professionals.
The Festival celebrates the artistry of the solo and duet, forms that often serve as vital expressions for choreographers developing their artistic voices. By presenting both emerging and mid-career artists, SoloDuo offers audiences a vivid, intimate experience while fostering the discovery and growth of new talent.
WHITE WAVE’s mission is to act as a powerful catalyst to expand the horizons of contemporary dance through performances, festivals, residencies, and educational programs. By providing platforms for dancemakers to create, collaborate, and present new works on prestigious stages, WHITE WAVE continues to nurture and elevate artists within New York City’s vibrant dance community.
