Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana returns to The Joyce with the New York City premiere of QUINTO ELEMENTO (Fifth Element), an evening-length work by acclaimed choreographer Patricia Guerrero, winner of Spain's National Dance Award, with an original score by Francis Gomez performed live. Featuring Flamenco Vivo's world-renowned international cast of dancers and musicians, the work explores the elusive fifth element of the earth-ether, the invisible essence that connects all things. Hailed by The New Yorker as "a master of tradition who dares to deconstruct the art form," Guerrero ventures beyond flamenco's aesthetic bounds, embracing chaos and fragmentation to reveal its essence-its invisible fifth element, and make it tangible to audiences.

For 25 years, the American Tap Dance Foundation (ATDF) has been a cornerstone of the art form, honoring its past while shaping its future. This season, founder Tony Waag's Tap City, the New York City Tap Festival, celebrates tap across generations, styles, and artistic visions.
The program features classic Copasetic repertory, including the Coles Stroll and Chair Dance, alongside My Mind Is on Mingus, Brenda Bufalino's iconic solo passed to Michelle Dorrance. New works include Anthony Morigerato's Endless, a world premiere that imagines tap dance as a fully integrated theatrical space, and excerpts from Soles of Duende's The Kitchen, a rhythm-driven work-in-progress rooted in ritual, joy, and the intimacy of shared meals.
Performed by an extraordinary lineup of tap masters and emerging artists, including Michelle Dorrance, Jason Samuels Smith, Max Pollak, and Caleb Teicher, and directed by Tony Waag, the program reveals the full spectrum of tap dance, accompanied by live music and rare archival footage from ATDF.
