DANCE FILMS PRESENTS

Dance Film Screenings in NYC

See the Films – Meet the Artists

From large scale events to small intimate screenings, Dance Films Presents showcases programming focused on films specifically geared for a special venue or around a specific theme. Many of these films are from our annual Dance on Camera Festival, reflecting our dedication to support these filmmakers year-round. Additionally, films are included from separate submissions and ones we are excited about.

Due to Covid-19 cautions our 2020 Dance Films Presents offerings have gone to a digital presentation.

Press Quotes

  • Friends and fans of legendary hoofer and star of stage and screen Marge Champion rocked the boat Saturday, September 13, at the Show Boat Cruise around Manhattan to celebrate the part-time Berkshire resident’s 93rd birthday. The evening was hosted by the Dance Films Association to honor Champion, who has starred in musical classics such as Show Boat, Lovely to Look At, and Three for the Show. Dancers, choreographers, film fans, and longtime friends of Champion boarded the two-story party yacht on the East River, enjoying light refreshments and cocktails before the ship set sail toward Brooklyn. Guests and crew alike gathered to admire the city skyline against a glowing pink sunset. DJ Alberto Denis cranked up the retro tunes and it didn’t take much more than that to draw guests to the dance floor, which was packed by night fall as the ship sailed past the Statue of Liberty and back to shore, where the celebration continued with a screening of classic dance films.
