Culture of the Week: Gallim Dance

This week's COTW has actual events associated with it! If you are in the New York City area, do yourself a favor and try to see this Dance Company at the Joyce SoHo this week until the 18th! I have the details of the event, in addition to a complete schedule after the jump.

I'm no Baryshnikov, but I know good dance when I see it. I think you all would be doing yourself a solid (thanks, Juno) by making your way to these shows. Here are the details, from the company manager:
