Hey New Yorkers!!!
Summer Sway takes over The Shed’s outdoor, public Plaza on Friday and select Saturday evenings, July 15 through August 27. Inspired by the rich history and the vibrant presence of Black social dance in our city and beyond, we invite you to join as we celebrate the beauty, healing power, joy, and liberation that these dance traditions give us.
Show off your moves and pick up new ones! New York’s fiercest DJs will open the dance floor from 5 pm to sunset on Friday evenings. Every other Saturday, bring your family and friends for dance cyphers, battles, sessions, and parties led by some of the most renowned choreographers and companies who continue to reinterpret styles of house, hip hop, bomba, Bruk Up, the Philly Bop, the hustle, and more.
Summer Sway includes a site-specific installation, called Tidal Shift, by WIP Collaborative, a shared feminist practice of independent design professionals focused on engaging communities and the public realm. The design responds to the angular geometry of The Shed’s façade and offers sculptural platforms, created with recycled Nike Grind, for sitting, lounging, performing, and gathering.
Enjoy specialty cocktails from Cedric’s, The Shed’s bar. The Plaza stays open throughout the week, so make the space your own to gather, relax, and celebrate the season with your friends.
Admission to Summer Sway is free. RSVPs are encouraged but not required; entry is first-come, first-served.
