HUNTER―Catskill Mountain Foundation, in partnership with The Joyce Theater Foundation, presents Malpaso Dance at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center in Tannersville on Saturday, February 7 at 7 p.m.
Since its establishment in 2012, Malpaso Dance Company has become one of the most sought-after Cuban dance companies with a growing international profile. Emphasizing a collaborative creative process, Malpaso is committed to working with top international choreographers while also nurturing new voices in Cuban choreography. An Associate Company of Joyce Theater Productions, Malpaso—together with The Joyce—has commissioned original works from a number of prominent international choreographers, including Ron K. Brown, Aszure Barton, Emmy-award winning Sonya Tayeh, Robyn Mineko Williams and celebrated b-girl Asherie.
As a means of foregrounding Cuban choreographers, Malpaso recently has also premiered works by company member Daile Carrazana, bolstering the list of long-toured pieces by Artistic Director Osnel Delgado, which are often accompanied live by Grammy award winning, Cuban-American composer/pianist Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Ensemble.
In 2026, Malpaso will premiere a new work by emerging Thai-American choreographer Keerati Jinakunwiphat and will become the first Cuban dance company to perform a work by Martha Graham.
Malpaso Dance’s preview performances of Keerati’s new work and Carrazana’s La Estación are only on Saturday, February 7 at 7 p.m. at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center, 6050 Main Street, Tannersville. Arrive early to find available parking in the municipal or other parking lots. For tickets, visit https://our.show/malpaso-dance.
