Dive In! Experience New Jersey’s premier contemporary modern dance company – Carolyn Dorfman Dance. Led by LBI resident Carolyn Dorfman, and now in its 40th anniversary season, the acclaimed troupe brings an evening of athletic, dramatic, and virtuosic dance.
In this intimate evening of performance and conversation, the company will present selections from some of its signature works as Dorfman shares her inspiration and process for the works presented, including:

PRIMA!, a vibrant new work featuring the robust, driving, and buoyant sound of legendary jazz musician, Louis Prima, and his band; with the powerful, virtuosic, and expressive voices of Prima’s female lead jazz singers, Gia Maione Prima and Keely Smith;

Mayne Mentshn (My People), Dorfman’s soulful, inspiring tribute to her family that celebrates her Eastern European Jewish roots through music, gesture, ritual, character, and more;

And WAVES, a sonically eclectic celebration of movement and sound with music by cellist Jessie Reagen Mann, multi-instrumentalist and human beat boxer Pete List and recorder player Daphna Mor.

The evening includes a post-show discussion and a meet and greet with the artists. Dive in! Be inspired and thrilled by this bold, athletic, “no-holds-barred” company.
