Andrew Nemr joins Lori Belilove and the Isadora Duncan Dance as an Artist in Residence at the McBurney YMCA this fall. For his residency Andrew will be developing a series of online tap dance classes, and developing a new body of choreographic work. This marks further growth in Andrew’s relationship with the McBurney YMCA. Since early 2017, Andrew has been working closely with the leadership of the McBurney YMCA in developing the tap dance program, now hosting 4 weekly tap dance classes of varying levels (all based on the Tap Dance Freedom method) and the quarterly Conversations Dance Party. “Finding good space in New York City is challenging, particularly for a tap dancer,” Andrew said, “so I’m very excited to partner with the McBurney YMCA to have a place to develop this new body of work.” Videos from Andrew’s classes are available online through Andrew’s Patreon Page. Andrew’s first online lesson is scheduled to be released in November.
