MISSION

The Hamptons Dance Project (HDP) pairs premiere dancers from ballet and modern dance with master choreographers to present the classical repertoire reimagined alongside innovative new works.

HDP promotes dance as a part of the cultural landscape of Long Island’s East End; encourages artists to take risks and stretch their talents in exciting new directions, and connects with communities that have minimal exposure to ballet and classical dance performance.

This innovative annual event honors the East End’s legacy as a creative hotbed and artistic haven through innovative programming that includes world premiere commissions. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Jose Sebastian, HDP pushes the boundaries of classical dance.
