The acclaimed New York-based Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company, celebrating its 21st Anniversary, is known for its playful virtuosity, musicality, accessibility and charisma. “A troupe I’d follow anywhere” (The Village Voice), a “troupe of fabulous dancers” (Back Stage) that “can’t help but smile” (The New Yorker). Performance highlights include Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Edinburgh International Fringe Festival, Fire Island Dance Festival, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, and Bryant Park. The Company’s dance films have screened in national, and international festivals, including the American Dance Festival. DGDC has been awarded residencies by the Joyce Theater, The Yard, Raumars (Finland), Sacatar (Brazil), Djerassi (California), CUNY Dance Initiative, Inception to Exhibition, La MaMa, Queens Museum of Art, Skafiotes (Greece), Maison Dora Maar, (France), Aktuelle Architektur der Kultur (Spain), Gdański Festiwal Tanca (Poland), and The Studios of Key West. The Company premiered The Oracle at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s BAM Fisher for its fifteenth anniversary. Arts/ATL described its “mathematical elegance” and “joyful physicality...a vision that vibrated on a frequency of harmony and brilliance.” Since 1998 the nonprofit has demonstrated a commitment to education through multigenerational interactive programming. DGDC’s 20th Anniversary Season at the 92nd Street Y in 2019 garnered this praise from On Stage Blog: “Provocative, whimsical, and ethereal, the Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company defies expectations of postmodern dance and soars, unafraid to take risks and dazzle with unflinching honesty….At times, just the urgency and power conveyed in the dancers’ glances deserved applause...The company shoots energy through every limb and glance the entire evening, and Gwirtzman’s choreography shines through in every piece as an ultimate force of nature.”
