A very useful set of links leading to many dance companies, large and small, as well as places where you can go and dance.

The Joyce Theater
From this famous modern dance venue with its frequently inspired performances: a rather uninspired site. You can find info about current and past performances, as well as some photos, but they left the oomph onstage.

|
Brooklyn Academy of Music
For many, BAM is the only reason to schlepp into Brooklyn, and excellent jazz concerts and the annual Next Wave Festival are part of the allure. Don't expect frills on this site, just info on performances, and not quickly.
|
|
|
Merce Cunningham Dance
The Merce Cunningham Dance site is rather ho-hum in terms of style, considering the company is one of New York's most exciting modern dance companies. Still, you will find plenty of info on Merce, his dancers, and performance dates.

|
Paul Taylor Dance Company
Considering this group's world-renowned reputation for high energy and style, the site surprisingly lacks pizzazz. However, it does serve up an enormous amount of backstage information, including schedules, bios, and performance photos.
