The inaugural edition of Hudson Valley Dance Festival transformed the Historic Catskill Point into a world-class arts venue on October 12, 2013, producing a captivating evening of dance for an enthusiastic, standing-room-only audience.
Set in a 19th century warehouse on the banks of the Hudson River, Hudson Valley Dance Festival (#hvdance) raised an impressive $76,950 for Dancers Responding to AIDS, a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
The evening featured performances by three of the most talked-about dance companies in the country – Evidence, A Dance Company; Monica Bill Barnes & Company and Stephen Petronio Company - and choreography by famed American Ballet Theatre principal Marcelo Gomes.
