Dance Workshop NYC, Oct 19-21 2026

As part of the FUSA Dance Festival, Althea Dance Company will host a fall workshop in New York City in October 2026. This 3-day intensive is designed for pre-professional and professional dancers, with a daily schedule from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM.

Led by Artistic Director Théa Bautista and company members, as well as guest companies performing for the FUSA Dance Festival, the workshop includes contemporary technique classes, repertory, improvisation, and partnering. Each session is designed to deepen dancers' physicality, presence, and creative expression.

The workshop focuses on contemporary technique, explores creative tools such as partnering, repertory, improvisation, and composition — elements often not covered in standard dance training.

Althea Dance Company’s movement language blends fluidity and seamless transitions with athletic physicality, merging floorwork with expressive lines and dynamic range. Participants will be immersed in ADC’s unique choreographic approach and artistic vision.

The company focuses on international collaboration with artists from different fields such as writers, musicians, painters or visuals artists. Althea Dance also likes to perform in surprising and unusual spaces such as warehouses, artist studios, art galleries or outdoor stages. The company explores new ways of sharing dance with the audience and reaching out to people who may not be used to the contemporary dance scene. So far, Althea Dance Company has performed internationally, mainly in the United States, the UK, France and Mexico and is aiming to keep expending its international voice.

Guest companies and choreographers invited to teach during the workshop will be annouced in September.
