Peridance Contemporary Dance Company has been a powerhouse of energetic and evocative dance since its inception in 1983. The Company, known for Artistic Director Igal Perry's timelessly elegant and brilliantly musical choreography, has an illustrious performance history at venues including the Joyce Theater, the Rose Theater at Lincoln Center, and internationally in Italy, Israel, Korea and Bulgaria. Mr. Perry, together with Executive Director Yarden Ronen, have structured the Company to explore and experiment with innovative movement and design with an emphasis on performing repertory by notable choreographers as well as emerging talents.

The dancers are all classically trained - they hail from Japan, Korea, USA, Spain, and Columbia. PCDC is housed within Peridance Capezio Center in the Union Square area of New York City, with the beautiful Salvatore Capezio Theater as its resident performance venue.

The Company's annual NY Spring Season serves as a launch pad for 30+ annual performances, new works, and programs each year. PCDC constantly reaches out to its community by offering classes and outdoor showcases, and by donating performances to charitable organizations and schools. Residency work and commissions from major colleges and conservatories round out a full roster of creative and performing activities at the highest level of artistic excellence. 

PCDC has had the honor of performing in some of New York's most renowned theaters including the Joyce Theater, BAM and Kaye Playhouse. The Company has also toured nationally and internationally, performing in Japan, Korea and Italy. We invite you to visit the Company's website to learn more.
