McBurney YMCA Residency

By Andrew

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.

Andrew is joining a host of amazing artists and creators on Patreon. What is Patreon? Good question. Patreon is a crowdfunding and community building platform that is designed with creatives in mind. Unlike Kickstarter or other project based platforms, Patreon cultivates a community around the ongoing support of a particular person or endeavor. As Andrew’s work spans a number of pursuits and takes more of a long-term approach, Patreon is a well suited platform for the support of his work.

Andrew is uniquely diverse in his work with projects in the worlds of preservation (Tap Legacy®), performance and storytelling (Andrew Nemr’s Artist Portfolio), education (Tap Dance Freedom), writing (Rhythm Theory Handbook), and gatherings (The Table). Patrons who support Andrew through Patreon will have access to Andrew’s weekly tap dance steps, writing drafts, video recaps of his weeks work, and more!!
