From yesterday’s Queensboro Dance Festival opening day! You may have seen Jatary Sunchy at Dance Parade a few weeks ago and now you have several more chances to see them at QDF! Spectacular performance with a fairy tale-like dreamy narrative. This dance was art! Follow Queensboro Dance Festival for the upcoming schedule all summer long!
