Green Space BLOOMS in Celebration of 10th Anniversary

In response to the growing community of choreographers and dance artists in Queens, Dance Entropy inaugurated the Green Space Blooms Dance Festival in April 2007. The 10th Anniversary of Green Space Blooms will feature 27 diverse choreographers, as well as resident company Valerie Green/Dance Entropy.

This special anniversary edition will highlight choreographers who have presented work at Green Space spanning the last decade. Completing each evening is a live music post-performance party, sharing sounds from a different ethnic tradition each night, curated by Open Music Ensemble. The festival brings New York City-wide attention to Long Island City as a destination for quality, thought provoking dance and music.
