BROOKLYN WEEKLY, JAN. 27, 2019
DANCE
Continued from page 1
keted by Spoke the Hub in
the fall of 2019, giving new
artists a prime opportunity
to break into the Brooklyn
art scene, according to the
studio’s programs coordinator
“The fully produced
showcase means Spoke
takes care of tech direction
and publicity, and they just
get to do their work,” said
Dalienne Majors.
Popular up-and-coming
performers have been
known to stack the deck
in their favor by inviting
friends to the show, said
Majors, but the Winter Follies
also offers an option for
talented introverts. Artistic
director Long chooses
several competitors to
share starring roles in a
Director’s Choice showcase,
ensuring that all of
the event’s best performers
walk away winners — regardless
of any social advantages.
“We added the Director’s
Choice showcase,
where I choose four to
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?: Spectators at the dance-off will
decide who waltzes away as its winner. Marcia Bricker Halperin
six artists that stand out
to me, but may not get
the popular vote,” said
Long.
Long launched the annual
Winter Follies competition
in 2001 to give young
performers an opportunity
to strut their stuff before
a live audience — and as a
way to show ticket holders
a good time.
“Winter Follies is
always a fun, kind of
wild, and unpredictable
event,” said Long. “We
do not curate it at all —
but the cream generally
rises to the top, we have
found.”
Winter Follies at Old
First Reformed Church (729
Carroll St. between Sixth
and Seventh avenues in
Park Slope, www.spokethehub.

pm. $20 ($15 in advance, $10
students and seniors).
