SUMMARY:Performance by KR3T’s Dance Company and Dance Circle with Wandering Dance Society
DESCRIPTION:The June 7 First Fridays at Five will feature a performance by KR3T’s Dance Company from 5 to 6 pm at the City Stage. This will be an all-ages street dance performance by New York City’s KR3T’s Dance Company\, and at the end of the hour\, they will be joined by the Wandering Dance Society who will lead a dance circle for all who wish to participate. \nKR3Ts Dance Company strives to broaden the notion of what a dancer is\, and to promote the preservation of ethnic and cultural dances based in Spanish Harlem. The dance company provides a positive alternative to social and street pressures among children and young adults in lower and middle-income families in Latino communities of New York City\, mainly by providing dance classes and support programs in a non-discriminating atmosphere.
