Moments that move you
This week, Jeremy Nedd kicks off the inaugural Lincoln Center Contemporary Dance Festival and Omari Wiles performs the first of many Dance Encounters on Hearst Plaza. La Tribu de Abrante brings a 12-piece salsa orchestra to The Dance Floor and Carl Hancock Rux leads a multidisciplinary Juneteenth performance. All this to say, there are many ways to be moved this week. Where will we see you?
