Kelsey and Abdiel are thrilled to present a new iteration of A Walk In Our Heels at the Cape Dance Festival this summer! Join us in Provincetown, MA at the Province Lands Outdoor Amphitheatre for a night of high caliber performances including work from the Martha Graham Dance Company, Sonya Tayeh, Catherine Cabeen, and more. 

Cape Dance Festival was conceived by two longtime performing arts professionals, Stacey-Jo Marine and Liz Wolff, whose passion for dance and ability to organize arts and media events has been proven over their twenty-year career span. Co-founder Liz Wolff says, "We are seeking to form community relationships through the enjoyment of dance and are dedicated to bringing world-class dance to the residents and visitors of Cape Cod through education, altruism, and performance."

Join us for Rhythm Flow at the Martha Graham School in NYC every Thursday from 7pm - 8:30pm!

Picture rhythmical ballroom dancers dancing without their partners -- solo -- but with a contemporary spin. In Rhythm Flow, we reference the rhythm and latin ballroom dance technique of chacha, rumba, mambo, swing, bolero, paso doble, and samba, and combine it with contemporary/modern dance vocabularies. Uniting the ballroom and modern dance forms, we embrace a symbiotic flow between the two languages to foster individualized, organic expression for each dancer. Structural elements of class will include floor work, center and across the floor, and choreography/phrase work. Recommended for intermediate/advanced dancers.       

• Single class is $18
• 5 class card $85.50
• 10 class card $160

We are SO EXCITED to announce the start of our new weekly class, Rhythm Flow! Join us at the Martha Graham School in NYC every Thursday from 7pm - 8:30pm, beginning NEXT WEEK, 3/2/17!

Come see Kelsey and Abdiel perform along with Breton Tyner Bryan of Breton Follies at Dance for Haiti on December 6th, 2016! 

Dance for Haiti is a benefit performance, featuring dancers of the Martha Graham Dance Company and various guest artists. In early October, Haiti was struck by hurricane Matthew, leaving over 1,000 dead and more than 2 million in need of assistance. 

The Martha Graham Dance Company was scheduled to perform in Haiti at the end of October, but the devastation caused by Hurricane Matthew meant that those performances had to be postponed until 2017.  The dancers decided to take action and do whatever possible to help Haiti, so we are going to do what we do best – Dance for Haiti!

This December we will host a benefit performance to raise money for Haiti. You can help us raise funds by attending the live performance or, for a small donation, you can watch event via livestream. All proceeds will go directly to help the Haitian people rebuild their communities.

Due to an unfortunately timed injury, Kelsey and Abdiel will no longer be performing at the Cape Dance Festival this summer.
