Gotham Dance Theater

Home Queens Neighborhood: Woodside Fun fact: The idea of Summer Suite came to me in 2019 while at Solid State, a local bar in Woodside, where they played K-pop. I really enjoyed watching many people of various races nodding their heads. This sparked my idea to create dance work that highlights modern music in other languages. Now, we're going on our eighth year of this incredible concept!
