Little Island Music & Dance Festival 2022

Come to Little Island this July and immerse yourself in a world of sound and motion, rhythm and melodies, when they present our 2022 Music and Dance Festival! Last season’s Dance Festival was co-curated by Artist-in-Residence and Drama Desk nominee Ayodele Casel (Funny Girl, Chasing Magic, Diary of a Tap Dancer) and her long-time collaborator and Creative Producing Award from CIPA & APAP winner Torya Beard (Funny Girl, Chasing Magic; Executive Director, A BroaderWay) and this season Tony Award Winner Michael McElroy (Sunday In The Park With George, Rent, Big River), a fellow Little Island Artist-in-Residence, is joining the fun! Together they will curate and present an electrifying roster of New York-based musicians, choreographers, and dancers in a multi-generational kaleidoscope of styles, including blues, jazz, hip hop, folk, street dance, musical theater, and more.

Join to sing along or move to the beat, as our park spills over with artists from every corner of the city, coming together to create a unique experience where music and dance takes center stage in an island-wide celebration!
