WHITE WAVE DANCE presents the 10th Annual SoloDuo Dance Festival on Thursday, February 5th, 2026 and Friday, February 6th, 2026 at Dixon Place. 

Founded in 2016 by WHITE WAVE’s Artistic Director Young Soon Kim, the SoloDuo Dance Festival showcases 34 exceptional dancemakers from the New York Metro area, across the United States, and around the world—including artists from China, Israel, Korea, Mexico, and Poland. Participating artists were selected by a distinguished panel of presenters and dance professionals.

​

In 2025, WHITE WAVE Dance partnered with the ChangMu International Dance Festival in Seoul, Korea, to launch the SoloDuo Dance Festival New York | Seoul. Through this collaboration, two outstanding companies from our 2025 SoloDuo Dance Festival—Sean Howe Dance (New York) and Rebecca Laufer and Mats van Rossum (Netherlands)—were selected to perform at the ChangMu International Dance Festival in August in Seoul. Building on this successful partnership, two companies from our 2026 SoloDuo Dance Festival will once again be selected and invited to perform in Seoul in 2026, continuing this exciting international exchange. 

 

The Festival celebrates the artistry of the solo and duet, forms that often serve as vital expressions for choreographers developing their artistic voices. By presenting both emerging and mid-career artists, SoloDuo offers audiences a vivid, intimate experience while fostering the discovery and growth of new talent.
