A dance performance that rewrites the rules.
SHINDIG 360 brings together
immersive dance,
live music, visual art,
and community.
To our brilliant audience: Thank you for showing up with curiosity, openness, and joy. Deep gratitude to our phenomenal dancers, guest artists, musicians, and volunteers—your dedication and creativity brought every corner of the evening to life. And a big thank you to the entire Brooklyn Art Haus staff for having us. A highlight of the evening: the preview of Michaella’s new work-in-progress, Breaking Bonds. We’re honored to have shared this early glimpse, and we can’t wait to see where it goes next.
From our debut of Shindig: a social gathering with dance in July 2023 to this past weekend’s journey through dance, music, visual art, and connection. We’re so proud of how far Shindig has come and glad to be growing it with you. We’re just getting started. Stay close… the next chapter is on its way.

LET’S RECAP
LEARN MORE ABOUT SHINDIG 360
THE MENU
More than a show, SHINDIG 360 is a celebration of community and creativity, reflecting Forza Dance’s commitment to a future of dance that is artist-centered, inclusive, and ever-evolving.
Why a menu? SHINDIG 360 lets you curate your own experience, moving through performances, installations, and live music on your terms, rather than a traditional stage performance. By giving guests this choice, the evening becomes more accessible, inclusive, and participatory—inviting everyone to engage with dance and art in a way that feels personal.
Shindig is a movable experience with places to relax, enjoy a drink, and connect. In the main stage area, most audience members will stand or move freely, while seating will always be available for anyone who’d like or needs it.
