Union Street Dance

September 1, 2020 to June 16, 2024

Farewell to Union Street Dance, a much beloved studio in Brooklyn, NY, as we closed our doors on June 16, 2024. Thank you to all the artists who brought their creative energy to USD and made it a wonderful Brooklyn dance community space. Eva Dean Dance is proud that we provided an artist friendly studio for 23+ years to over 100+ independent dance artists and companies annually. EDD provided an Artist in Residency at our home studio, USD, from 2012-2024.

*EDD’s AIR artists received a space grant and monetary support for the creation of a new dance that was performed at USD with support from Mertz Gilmore. Thank you to New York State Council on the Arts and NYC’s Department of Cultural Affairs for their grant support of USD’s Subsidized Rehearsal Rental Program for 20+ years.

*EDD’s Artists in Residence at USD: Francine Ott (2012), binbinFactory, Rie Fukuzawa and Satoshi Haga (2013), Jamal Jackson (2014), Christine Noel & the Creature (2015), Parul Shah (2017), Rakia Seaborne (2018), Laura Nicoll (2019), Raha Benham (2020), JKing Dance Company, Kristen Klein and Debbie Mausner (2021), Deborah Jackson (2022), Amber Sloan (2023), Kathryn Alter and Symara Sairi (2023-2024)

Come see these talented dancers as they perform LIQUID SILVER, part II, Labyrinth at Underground Movement Vol. 7 right here at Union Street Dance. Link for tickets in bio!

Underground Movement Vol. 7
Sunday, June 9 @ 3pm
Union Street Dance
725 Brooklyn, NY 11215

We’re excited to host Underground Movement Vol. 7! Sunday, June 9 @ 3pm. Right here at Union Street Dance 725 Brooklyn, NY.

Join us for a special works in progress showing of LIQUID SILVER, part II, Labyrinth. Labyrinth is meditation on destiny that delves between past and present. Minotaurs threaten throughout while performers navigate traumatic mazes, sharp corners, and dead ends. Inaction is a choice, but survival instincts prevail, and action is taken through supportive communal rhythms and rituals that nourish the spirit.
