WHITE WAVE Dance is inviting choreographers and dance companies to apply for its 25th Annual DUMBO Dance Festival, scheduled for June 26–28, 2026, at Taylor Dance East Theatre in New York’s DUMBO neighborhood.
The three-day festival will feature more than 50 contemporary dance companies from New York and around the world, showcasing emerging, experimental, and innovative choreographers. WHITE WAVE has presented international dance artists for over two decades, highlighting the energy and creativity of the global dance community.
Applications are being accepted through two deadlines: an early bird submission by Jan. 19, 2026, and a regular submission by Feb. 2, 2026. Each choreographer or company may submit up to two works, with each requiring a separate application and non-refundable fee. Selected participants will be notified by mid-February 2026.
“All applications will be reviewed by a panel of impartial adjudicators,” said Artistic Director Young Soon Kim. “We look forward to discovering new voices in contemporary dance and sharing their work with audiences from New York and beyond.”
For more information or to apply, visit the WHITE WAVE Dance website or contact Kim at 718-855-8822 or ww2026ddf@gmail.com.
