Sensations: Culture, Community, Courage

Four choreographers move Queens College dancers through house, tap, Asian fusion and physical theatre across a four-day Flushing run.

See all this weekend's NYC picks
DanceQueensFour nights

Four choreographers, four idioms — commercial and house, tap, Asian fusion and physical theatre — performed by Queens College dancers across a four-day run in Flushing. The programme is framed around how dance connects cultural perspectives and the courage it takes to be seen moving, which lands differently in the most linguistically diverse county in the country. If your December dance plan is otherwise all Nutcracker, this is the corrective.

What to expect

A mixed-bill programme with distinct pieces by four choreographers rather than a single evening-length work, so styles change sharply between sections. The Goldstein Theatre is a mid-size campus house, and the closing performance runs as an afternoon matinee rather than an evening show.

Good to know

  • Take the 7 to Flushing–Main Street, then the Q17, Q25, Q34 or Q65 bus to Queens College.
  • Tickets were listed as going on sale in September, so set a reminder rather than checking now.
  • Evening performances start at 7 pm; the final one is a 3 pm matinee.
  • Campus parking is available and simpler than the bus connection from Main Street.
  • A mixed bill means short pieces, which suits anyone new to contemporary dance.
  • Allow time to find Goldstein Theatre on the campus, which is separate from Colden Auditorium.

Common questions

What styles are on the programme?

Four choreographers cover commercial and house, tap, Asian fusion and physical theatre, so the evening moves between quite different movement languages.

When can I buy tickets?

The venue listed tickets as going on sale in September 2026, so the event page is the place to check rather than expecting availability earlier.

Is there a matinee?

Yes, the closing performance runs in the afternoon at 3 pm, while the earlier performances in the run are evening shows at 7 pm.
