EMERGE: A New Modern Dance Show that Headlines “Enjoy Yourself!”

“Enjoy Yourself!” a modern, one-hour contemporary dance presentation choreographed for EMERGE, a new modern dance show presented by the Suzzanne Ponomarenko Dance Company. Conceptualized as a
reaction to the adversities that happened during the past few years, of which the most recent was the loss of loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the mayhem of the Russia-Ukraine war.

“Enjoy Yourself!” is a dance presentation of how Suzzanne herself was able to get over her grief while also paying homage to everyone who has ever suffered.

About EMERGE the Dance Show

EMERGE the dance show is set to run at the Arts on Site located at 12 St. Mark’s Place, New York City, on September 21 (6:30 PM) and September 22 (8:30 PM).
