With New York’s Great South Bay as a breathtaking backdrop, an eclectic lineup of world-class dancers joyously led the unforgettable in-person return of Fire Island Dance Festival, the charitable and cultural event of the Fire Island summer.
The festival, held July 15-17, 2022, raised $655,090 to help ensure those across the country living with HIV/AIDS, COVID-19 and other debilitating illnesses have access to lifesaving medications, counseling, healthy meals, housing and more.
This year’s captivating performances included four world premieres by choreographers Joshua Beamish, Adriana Pierce, Caleb Teicher and Abdiel, and Akira Uchida, featuring two pas de deux, the festival’s first nonbinary duet and a high-energy ensemble number.
