Nacre Dance Group is now accepting choreographer submissions for the highly anticipated Sip, Savor, and Swirl, a one-of-a-kind event celebrating the fusion of dance and wine. Set to take place on August 16, 2025, at the historic Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga Springs, this immersive event will showcase choreographed dance pieces inspired by wines from around the world.
Each choreographer will be assigned a specific wine and tasked with interpreting its essence—whether through its origins, characteristics, or cultural significance—by creating an original dance piece. The selected wines will be thoughtfully paired with cheese from The Cheese Traveler in Albany, NY, offering guests a multi-sensory experience that pairs the artistry of dance with the refined tastes of wine and cheese.
How to Apply:
Nacre Dance Group invites choreographers (ages 21 and up) to submit their applications (https://forms.gle/Bb2AyrLDwMnV33xJ7) by March 30, 2025. All selected applicants will be invited for a video interview, and the chosen choreographers will have the opportunity to present their work at the Sip, Savor, and Swirl performance on August 16, 2025, at 7:30 PM.
Stipend:
All accepted choreographers will receive a $400.00 honorary stipend upon completion of their performance. Additionally, the winning choreographer will be commissioned to create a new piece for the Nacre Dance Group’s 2026 season.
